I would give it a few tanks to see what the error for the trip meter works out to be. Fuel pumps aren't very consistent. The error rates for my vehicles are:

1.4% - 2005 Prius
3.6% - 2009 Prius
4.8% - 2011 BMW R1200RT
6.5% - 2014 VW Sportwagen TDI

The VW is only an average of 4 tanks and so far they vary from 5.5% to 8.0%.

I would not add an additional transmission cooler. If you are concerned about the CVT I would change the fluid more frequently than the 60K miles recommended by Nissan.
