I usually do better than the sticker, but I think in this case, the automatic excels in certain situations while the manual excels in others. Some things about the EPA cycle that are important, the highway cycle has an average speed of 48 mph, and the manual shift cycle has predetermined shift schedules which are not tailored to each individual car unless the manufacturer furnishes a specific schedule.
Based on this link...
http://www.epa.gov/otaq/emisslab/methods/hwy5spd.txt
It looks like they generally use 15..25..40..45 as the shifting speeds.
We'll see what I get.
