I drive a manual transmission car and I find my mileage to be comparable if not lower to an automatic transmission car. While activating cruise control, my mileage rises by a few kms because of this I have always wondered which transmission for my next car would be the best, considering mileage to be an important factor.

Neither. The popularity (by manufacturers) of CVTs (Continually Variable Transmissions) is due to their being able to continuously adjust to run the engine at a more efficient speed.
I don’t think the consumers really want them as they have a bad rap (earlier ones were failure prone), however they improve advertised efficiency which is good for the manufacturer.
