Shouldn't have an impact, I do this all the time. All switching to manual mode does is move the decision point from the computer to the driver. It's basically a software thing.

I have tracked my mileage over about 66K miles (see my builder's log for the history), and I don't see an appreciable difference between modes. If anything the AT mode is going to be more fuel efficient because it is pretty well programmed for that unless you put it in sport mode, or really kick down on the accelerator.
