Mirage CVT vs. 5-speed MPG real world

As of today, Mirage owners have logged 6576 fill-ups over 3,279,170 km /
2,037,582 miles on the Mirage Forum fuel log.
  • CVT drivers (97) are reporting: 40.2 MPG (US) = 5.8 L/100 km
  • 5-speed drivers (103) are reporting: 44.5 MPG (US) = 5.3 L/100 KM
Going by the car's 2015 EPA ratings:
  • CVT: 37 city / 44 hwy / 40 combined
  • 5-speed: 34 city / 42 hwy / 37 combined
We see CVT owners on average are achieving the car's EPA rating, while 5-speed owners are beating the rating by 20% on average. That's a bit higher than the 17% advantage reported for manual transmission drivers in the wider AAA study.
