CVT vs. 6 speed automatic

Been buying and driving some from of truck for the last 40 years. Last car I drove was a 93 Ford Tarus on an irregular basis. All the new car technology is almost mind boggling and in the interest of economy, I am curious as to what type of transmission will give better mileage results when comparing the CVT to a 6 speed automatic.

I may be in the market for the first car since a 1971 Camaro. Most of the literature on new cars talks about all the nice new features and little or nothing about what has been done to help it achieve better mileage. I am sure I can kick up the mileage on a new car, but would like to make a good decision to start with based on all of the choices in new car land.
