The CVT has better ratios, but there's a lot more a hypermiler can do with a stick, including shifting to N and turning off the engine (or even leaving the engine idling). I'd get the stick for sure.

I would also point out that now may be a good time to downsize your vehicle. Have you considered an Impreza 5-door, Toyota Matrix, or a Honda Fit?
