I don't believe there is any noticable loss in fuel mileage from power needed to run the automatic trans. Check the EPA ratings - although they're often hard to find for diesels. They might not represent all driving conditions, but they do work well comparing one vehicle to another. 1995 Chevy 3/4 ton 4WD truck - 6.5 diesel - rated at 16 city and 20 MPG highway with the automatic-overdrive, same truck with the five speed manual transmission 16 city and 19 highway.
For older 6.2 trucks - 1984 3/4 ton 4WD truck - with automatic overdrive - 17 city and 21 MPG highway, and with four speed manual - 16 city and 18 MPG highway.
