I used the bar graph instant fuel economy gauge (factory) in my CVT 2002 Insight and my CVT 2008 Altima to calculate idle fuel consumption. Coasting in neutral, with the engine idling, the Altima got 60 MPG (max gauge reading) down to 15 MPH which works out to .25 GPM. The Insight got 150 (max reading) down to 15 MPH which worked out to .11 GPH.
