75 MPG on my CVT...
Filled up the tank (7 gals...) in NJ, drove back to NYC using a mix
of route 10 (some stoplights), I-80 -> GW Bridge -> West Side Hgwy, then about 1/2 mile of local streets:
Wound up the 47 mile trip with.... 75.4 mpg
best prior sustained mileage on my CVT was about 60 mpg
(I was careful _not_ to overfill, so this wasn't an
artifact of the mumble mumble getting gasoline in it).
Things in my favor:
Engine was still warm, so no fuel wasted starting up.
Pretty good tailwind...
And I kept below 60 mph.
