lol, I'll just copy it over the day someone wants to know about it.
But the early shifts helping fuel economy makes sense, because the lower the load, the bigger the difference right?

I also have a hunch that typical automatic transmissions, when put in auto mode at least, may use gas pedal input as an indicator of overall torque demand, rather than engine load demand. That would REALLY help EPA scores.
