Better mpg. helps to keep the engine in its optimal range.
A 6 speed manual would give better control over the power delivery and better mpgs than a 4 speed auto. But if it is a newer 5 or 6 speed auto, they are highly intuitive and so much better than in the old days that any benefits or drawbacks between the two are negligible.
