My CVT is maxed out 80% of the time, doing 1000 RPM for every 30mph (so 60 mph takes 2000 RPM).
25% of the time the engine ticks over at 1100 RPM, it will go no lower.
Yes, there is an overlap. 33 - 35 mph (max ratio at minimal revs) is the FE sweetspot on my Insight

I do accelerate at a fixed (higher) RPM when I'm in a hurry, which is, ah, seldom
