around town driving - MT or AT

My driving is 85% around town, little highway. Which gets better mpg for around town? Are the mpg differences between AT and MT more apparent in highway driving?

mt gets better mpg in general. the overall car weight is lighter and less power is lost through the clutch vs. lost through the torque convertor.
