Several owners have remarked that the MINI Cooper CVT exhibits excellent gas mileage because the smooth behavior of the gearbox reduces demand on the engine. Some have said its "the best" package for steady state driving, even in traffic.

What are your experiences?

It's always seemed pretty good to me at moderate, steady highway speeds (on the occasions when traffic makes me experience moderate speeds), but the drop off in mpg in stop and go driving is fairly substantial.
