Battle of the Transmissions: M/T vs. A/T

[Egan101]

i am curious.
in our local setting,
does the CVT offer real, experiential fuel-saving advantages over the traditional AT?

My old Accord had an AT and it had a 2.3L NA engine. My FXT has a 2.0L turbo engine paired with a CVT on an AWD platform, it is more powerful and heavier than my old Accord. However, their fuel consumption is around the same.

Thus, the FXT prove to be more fuel efficient than my old Accord. The ASX (2.0L NA) with its CVT on a FWD platform is even more fuel efficient.

The new SkyActiv Mazda’s prove to be very fuel efficient without the use of a CVT.
