The CVT gets the equivalent of 30 mpg highway, and the 5MT according to fuelly:

(Look at the data link at the end)

gets just a touch better, so it's probably the equivalent of a 31 mpg highway car, real world. I don't have one though, so I don't pretend to know about the 5MT personally. There's a lot of post purchase rationalization on this list, but I just let the data speak for themselves.
pretty sure he read it right.

why is that everyone who is posting their recent MPG in their CVT's is better than what i get in my 5MT? obviously the 5MT gets better mpg

must of got bored not bickering for 2 whole weeks
