I've spent precious little time driving CVT's. A bit of time in a Jeep Compass and Audi A4 (where I learned I could "short shift" them) and half an hour comparing a 2014 Mirage CVT vs. the 5-speed.

It was a 2012 Nissan Sentra. The Torque app (bluetooth adapter) was going to 99.9 - that's what lead me to believe it was doing a DFCO. On screen was displaying 60MPG when it would DFCO.

This seemed to idle up to speed if I used very little throttle. The torque converter would lock at 5 or 6 MPH.
