CVT tricks?
I'm now driving a Caliber for my commuter now, until Malibu4 is up & running (its apart getting valve seals)
i've been averaging 26-28mpg with regular driving (traffic & 80mph when i break free), & i'm now starting to try some things, but its seems even tho the CVT is reported more effecient then a auto, it seems like i work the engine more sometimes then i could with an auto & a lockup converter
i guess i'm curious what works with a CVT? I've been doing some N coasting...which after reading some other topics could be worse & some EOC, but i dunno on the gains yet, I just started doing them in the past few days
maybe i should get one of them scangauge things...
