It would be thus: two analog controls, one for the gas, and one for the CVT. The one for the CVT would say, "connect at this RPM", so that at any speed you could have maximum power, maximum mileage, or anything in between. Your maximum power comes somewhere between 3-6000 RPM depending on the engine, but max mileage is the lowest gearing possible without lugging; just make sure you can also gear up the engine fan :-) Lance C.
