Even so, I voted CVT in the poll. No, I can't name a car that gets better mileage with a CVT than with a manual, but it *ought* to be possible to build a CVT to accomplish this. The CVT would just have to be tuned for maximum FE, that's all.

Yeah, I'm a manual-fiend too. I voted manual. I do think that CVT may win in the future. Just not today.
