My Insight has an Eco button which softens up the CC to very moderate acceleration; it hardly raises the CVT ratio even while accelerating so revs are minimal. I sometimes try to drive by foot but it seems to have no distinguishable effect on FE - though sometimes I feel the CC does a better job than I do.

Eco mode off, that's a whole different story.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
