    cvt rpm's when cold

    This morning, temperature where I am was 10 degrees F. After a few minutes warm up and slow driving, I get to a hill and really try to crawl up slowly since it's so cold out. But noticed the cvt likes to keep the motor at 2500-3000 rpm. Guess that's ok?
    I like to keep my rpm's low when the motor has only been running for 3 or 4 minutes and the temps are so low but can't really always do that with the cvt. Or, am I being too conservative and 3000 rpm's is considered low?
    Guess I'm just used to V8's.

    Yeap, under 30 degrees my CVT likes to stay noticeably high for some minutes even after the temperature light turns off.
