Is your CVT behaving silmiarly to the Honda CVT in the video blow? Those are km/h not mph and l/100km not mpg, but maybe you can tell anyway.

Honda CVT - slow city speeds:

Here is a mpg to l/100km converter, if you're curious.

It does appear to be very similar. However, if I was accelerating slowly like you are in the first video, the Sentra would stay below 2000 RPM. Provided it's up to temperature.

Gearing seems to be pretty similar too. At the highwy speeds 110-120KM/h (70-75) the Sentra is a tad above 2000 RPM.

It's still cracking out high 40s hand calculated. With the gas prices lately, I've parked my grand marquis.

I also have moved and have a longer commute. This does better if I follow US 11 to the next town down and hop on the Interstate from there. Daily driving a week on one then the other, I average 3MPG more going down US11 first then hopping on 81. It's also .5 less mile so I truly am saving fuel.
