That's your problem.

Every driver feels like their driving is very good.  In one study, of people who were in hospital as a result of a single-vehicle accident, those people still thought that their driving was above average.

Not to say the OP isn't a good driver, or hasn't done the IAM course, but I'm not entirely sure how much difference that'd have on fuel economy.

IAM courses used to major on 'making progress', which might explain the poor economy.

That's what I thought but I wasn't sure if that was out of date or not.

I am an excellent driver.

You're also way out of date in thinking that autos get less mpg than manuals.
Modern auto-boxes are pretty efficient and do a better job than most drivers.

TBF mine was on a bike but I remember getting one of the worst ever MPG's on one of my assessment rides (and I passed)
