Which one of these two engines give better fuel consumption

1.3 iDSI or 1.5 VTEC

Basically, I need this information to decide to upgrade to VTEC or stay with iDSI.

Also difference in iDSI MT and CVT fuel consumption.

Thanks

Sohaib

Dear msohaib

The only informstion i can give you now is that the CVT cars consume less fuel than the MT cars. Detailed answer some other time.

thanks for your short reply, but I have heard otherwise, that CVT consume more than MT
