Couldn't wait to check mileage. Scangauge actually was very close at +20% fuel once I calibrated the distance. Highest fuel mileage ever, under any conditions with the automatic,
52.4 mpg!!
Tires at 40psi, EGR deleted, fuel = B100, normal commuting 20 miles one way, no EOC, just coasting and engine braking and enjoying the new torque of the manual transmission.

It is, my best ever with the automatic was 50.8 on a road trip. 52.4 is my first measurement with the 5 speed, under normal commuting conditions.

guess I couldn't understand the wording. the comma threw me off.
I also like the snap on acceleration instead of slush compared to the auto.

I see a much bigger difference between auto and manual hyper miling. I had a B4 Passat sedan 5 speed, never did worse then 4L/100km, our mk4 Jetta auto does 5L at best, but usually worse at 5.5. The scangauge shows a difference of 40% when calibrating it between the two cars.
FYI you can get manual steering racks for the mk4 platform out of europe, weight savings, no lines, no pump. Flennor made them (saw them in person in a parts catalogue). I am far more worried about maintenance costs then safety...(turbo spinning down without cool down, clutch and transmission wear, that kind of stuff which over 20+ years of ownership can become issues, we keep our cars forever and rack up a million kms easily on each daily driver unless rust takes over first, which it did on the Passat).
