Well we know he doesn't talk much, but I thought maybe he typed some to make up for it.

I haven't spent much time driving a CVT equipped car. It'd be interesting to get to know the best ways to "game" it for max MPG, if that's even possible.

EG, things like: Is there a neutral gear like conventional transmissions? Can you engine-off coast it? Can you safely change in and out of drive while moving?
