Have driven both. Watching the rear view mirror vibrate as the engine cranks over 3700 at highway speed was always disconcerting in the AT. With the AT I never got better than 32mpg highway (imp) and a lame 21 mpg in the city. With the 5 speed, 37-38 highway is routine and 26-27 city the norm. It has something to do with driving style as well - since the 5 speed allows you to accelerate to 2000 and hold steady rpm at 40mph.
Since so many 5 speed conversions have been done - has anyone tried an AT with overdrive conversion - did Borg Warner make such an animal?
