I think this efficiency loss with CVT is a bit blown out of proportion, though.
Is it really that inefficient ALL the time, or only while it's actually doing something?
When it is only cruising, shouldn't it be about as efficient as a basic belt drive of the same ratio? How often do you really plan on accelerating?
