I just have no idea about this whole CVT transmission thing. I never driven a transmission like this before. So I am curious about it. Can it change to manual mode at any time or only when the car is completely stopped? And do you guys think that using only manual mode on CVT will improve a fuel economy?

Yes, I believe you can change modes at any time.

No, actually, best fuel economy will probably be in the regular drive mode.
