I used to live in Sioux City when I first started driving. It's not as bad down there as it is further north in MN now.

The impact is far less now that I have my block heater installed and used every weekday (about the only days I drive my VX). I picked up ~5mpg the first tank, not to mention the savings on the wear and tear of the motor.
I've never been a big fan of CVTs. Mainly due to the cost of maintenance, in the form of them wearing out just about as fast as an automatic trans. My basis for this observation is based mainly on the Civic HX though.
