2016 Versa SV sedan MPG (42 MPG first tank, with CVT)

I just figured the mileage on the first tank of gas I ran through this car. I'd driven 408.8 miles and it took 9.654 gallons to fill the tank giving me 42.345 MPG. The on board computer was quite optimistic saying I was getting 46.8 mpg more than 10% above actual mileage. Most of the driving on this tank was 45-55 mph on rural 2 lane roads, 4 lane, and maybe 30 miles in a small town with a few traffic lights.

I bought this car a couple weeks ago, it had been involved in a rear end collision with just over 10K miles on it and received a rebuilt title. The rebuilt title saved me lots of money on this one getting it for only $5300. with 10546 miles on the odometer.

I know Nissan has had problems with their CVT's and would be interested in hearing everyone's experience with them and how often they change the fluid and what brand fluid they've used for refills. I've been thinking about adding an extra air cooled transmission cooler to go along with factory engine coolant type cooler but am concerned about whether it would be too much cooling in the winter. We sometimes see temperatures as low as 0* to -10*F. What' everyone's idea's on this. Would you add the air cooler or not?
