why wouldnt it? The only feedback I get is NOISE when the CVT simulates a kickdown and makes the engine spin so much harder. I would like to get some acceleration, but maybe I wouldn't want to be at redline, but we wouldn't know now, would we?

Yeah, so the mileage guage tells me how much gas the engine is using, but still have no idea what the car decided to do.
