This.
If you know how to drive stick efficiently (eco-driving and what-not) then it will most certainly outperform the AT since that has a torque converter and other components with typically lowers mpg.
I have once gotten 69 mpg highway with my manual diesel, and it's advertised as 61 mpg highway. I wasn't driving faster than 60 mph.
I have also changed the correction factor to show more accurate numbers.(seemed to show about 6-7 % more mpg, no more)
