Seat height is very important not only for lowering the frontal area but also handling in crosswind. But you already are aware of that I suppose.
But I think best MPG results come from a low seat height in combination with a normal gearbox. Some losses in the CVT drive come from the rubber belt and are higher than losses from metal contacts like chain or gear.
