cr45 - did you go for the CVT or the manual?
Despite the ratings, the manual actually returns better real world economy in the hands of an attentive driver than the CVT. No extreme hypermiling is required, either -- just upshift to the tallest usable gear whenever possible and you'll outperform the CVT.
Additional eco-driving/hypermiling tactics (like strategic use of neutral coasting; engine braking to achieve fuel-cut where appropriate; pulse & glide) yield additional results beyond that.
