As has been said before, the reason technology is being pursued to improve efficiency rather than driver education is that the average driver doesn't care what is mpg is, nor does he really know how to improve it if he knew about it. Americans especially expect to get into a car and it does everything for you; why else would the AT be so prevalent here and no where else?
If they can get the CVT to work very efficiently and have the longevity or better than an auto or manual, I think it would be the best way to improve efficiencies of a vehicle with an ICE as we know them.
