I didn't see this before because I am below 2500 RPM most of the time. Because of the way I drive, I never saw it, .

This implies to me that I have a DFCO operating window. On steep hills I can put the engine in a gear that keeps the engine above 2500 RPM.

Woot for better mileage! I'm sure there's lots of places that you drive that would allow you to do this as well!
