CVT Users

I just finished the running in period on my Cooper and I've started to play around with the other modes on the transmission. I'm curious as to how much and when others use the sports and manual modes. The sports mode appear to boost the rpms so I find it useful for accelerating up hills or for a quicker start from a light etc., then I switch back to the regular CVT setting since I assume that it is more fuel efficient. I've toyed around with the manual setting a few times, but haven't really explored what it can do or feels like for any real length of time yet. How about the rest of you?
