Winglets

I've read a fair amount about winglets and that they can improve fuel economy/range by 3-6%. My question for the pilots is: Why has Continental installed them on nearly all of the 737 and 757 fleet but not the 777's? It seems like since they fly the longest haul flights, they would show the most benefit.

Thanks!
