I have now owned my 2004 CVT for about 3 weeks. I have experimented with various driving styles. As I said in my "Where's the beef?" posting, I continue to get the best MPG when the car does not use the energy efficient/saving hybrid technology.
I am very proud to report that I took a 56.9 mile trip today (6 miles of it was city traffic), with lots of inclines/decents on the freeway, and got an amazing 72.1 MPG :lol: (REMEMBER, THIS IS A CVT!!!)
I am having a blast driving this thing! On my first oil change, I plan to switch to Mobil 1. I upped my tire pressure to 42/40 (The delaer sent me off the lot with 25psi and I drove a 1200 mile trip at 25psi. Tire pressure makes all the difference!).
I am trying to recall other CVT posts of highest MPG reported. I will have to search the archive here to see what others have reported?
Thanks to all for your posts ... I have learned a lot!
