Default Re: Manual vs CVT MPG discrepancy?

Well, people are saying that the advantage goes to the manual, which is true, but looking at the real world MPG the advantage is almost non-existant. I'm just confused by why the Insight Manual has such higher gas mileage, whereas the Civic Hybrid Manual barely eeks out a win versus the CVT. Maybe lean burn is the real source of the Insight Manual's advantage and not so much the transmission itself?
