The ONLY variable allowed is the 'shape'. Otherwise the numbers are 'garbage.'

PS, if all the Toyota hybrids have CVT, then they will have a decisive BSFC advantage over non-CVT cars.
We've been warned by the experts that, we can lose up to 30% of streamlining advantage if we don't gear-match the car, load-for-load.

so youre saying that cvt is better than hyundais '' dual clutch'' transmission?
