Thought one or two of you with an Insight CVT might have an interest in this.
Yesterday, using the PA Turnpike I made a run from the Poconos to Willow Grove PA. The following are excerpts of a voice log I kept on the way down. (I've learned to carry a small tape recorder as well as a digital camera in the car at all times now, - every time I'm on the road)
On this run to Willow Grove, only the driver was in the car and no A/C was used. For the most part speed was kept between 45 MPH and 60 MPH.

END OF LOG
If you have a CVT, if I can get MPG readings like this - so can you.
* You migh note that on the return run I had a passinger and associated luggage.
* The A/C (on Economy and set for 67 F) was used all the way back due to the heat.
* The return run was by the way of PA Roue 611 (aka "the river road"). Those of you in NE Pennsylvania, if you've never used this road, especially in the Fall of the year, the run is worth it.
