Hmm, probably depends on the situation. If you start going up a hill and you can get it into the proper gear quicker than an auto could than yeah that might help as an example.

Going back down the other side of that same hill the Auto will probably coast better.

I dunno, just noticed it on a car the other day that the Manual was .2L worse in the city and on the highway than the Manual. Think it was one of the new(er) Hyundai models.
