At least most of the newer cars with CVTs have paddle shifters, do you can influence the gear ratio. But yes the MT will still me more fuel efficient but only if you're driving fuel efficient.

I drive my Civic X with the CVT way more fuel efficient than all the other Civic X with MT I know (forums and fuel tracking sites), because they drive normally and I'm doing a lot of hypermiling. If someone with the same car and a MT does hypermiling, I have no chance with the CVT.

Sorry for hijacking OPs thread and turning it into a basic CVT vs MT discussion.
