Yes!
Half the fun is figuring it out ; )
The CVT will always try to find the lowest possible rpm if you let it. When leaving a stop light for example, accelerate normally to near travel speed then ease off the gas allowing the rpm to drop while your car achieves cruising speed. The CVT will allow the engine to run at near stall, matching the effect of the manual trans.
Change your driving style to make best use of the car.
A large part of fuel economy is technique.
Will weld for beer.
