It might be interesting to massage the milage data by date, trans, and country (so you could get cold weather effects). Seems like the CVT takes a big milage hit warming up the transmission but might do better than the manual in warm seasons or climates.
Yeah, the CVT would definitely suffer more than the manual in cold weather (warm-up hit).
We already have results broken down by engine size and transmission type, if you click into the details here: View detailed fuel economy stats

And we just passed the 400k mile mark in the stats (600k+ km).
I've been watching the total milage figure. Climbs pretty fast. Just reached 13,000 on my CVT today. Lifetime average using gas receipts and odometer is 46.82 and it should be going up with the warmer temps..Quote:

Any thoughts on this and solely if you have time to share your experience.
Oh - the 400k miles is referring to the collective distance that forum members have tracked using our fuel log: http://mirageforum.com/forum/emgarage.php
I don't even own a Mirage... yet. :)
My Bad, thanks
MetroMPG, to defend my question, I used to have a Triumph TR6 that I got 434000 miles on with just one rebuild on the inline six. Just thought I would throw this in so as not to seem way out in left field!!!
Looks like we cracked 500 000 miles in the fuel log! :)
!!! I've been putting miles on my mirage, I did 550 in one night of uber.
Wow!! Putting on the miles!!
