No. Manuals get better MPG because they have more gears and a higher final drive. It's very easy to pick where an automatic shifts using the throttle but you still only have 4 gears to work with. And it takes about 4 times longer to shift if you push an automatic lever through the gates. Leave it in D4 my friend, until you get a stick
