The CVT insights only got around 55mpg while the 5 speed could get 70mpg pretty easly, check the EPA numbers for sure.
someone a few weeks back had asked how to check the Honda Civic Hybrid battery while doing a test drive, the drive train on the two cars is of the same design, just different size engines and motors, that thread should be pretty easy to find, but I think it basically came down to accelerate hard a few times so it's using the battery and see how it responds.
