Based on my personal experience with a manual transmission you can easily beat the EPA estiamtes by a few MPG but with automatic it is the otherway around.

In the euro cycle the difference beween 328 manual and automatic MPG is insignificant (combined manual 44.1 vs automatic 44.8).

But I agree that the advantage of manual transmission in terms of efficiency is gone.
