EPA's testing methods are also being worked by people who want the tests to come out in a certain way. Manuals are 10 points less drag resistance yet they get the same, and somedays less in EPA "testing". Maybe it has something todo with the 0-60 numbers eh?

The only downside I can find to the CVT is slow acceleration and possible durability issues. You still need to tune your engine for optimum results but at least you get to keep it in the sweet spot for accelerating and FE.
