I have learned how to accelerate. Press the accelerator down until I get 2000 rpm. It then will accelerate evenly up to 45 mph when I set the "active cruise control". It then drops rpm down to around 1500 rpm to cruise. I can't beat EPA so far; mostly town (not city) driving.
I am able to coast with engine on, but wonder if that will hurt the CVT. I now have the tires pumped to 48 psi (max sidewall is 51 psi). This made a 1-2 mpg improvement for the last tank. We'll see if it continues.
General impression is that the CVT is nice to drive, but takes some getting use to.
