...it would thus be a background limiting parameter:
Step-1. use MPG-input signal as long as MPH(min) is exceeded
Step-2. switch to MPH-input when MPH(min) is reached.
Step-3. conditionally switch back to MPG-input if driver pushes the RESUME button, etc.

Old Teleman,
I agree with yr logic. Something like it is simple and smart. Completely attainable. See Joel Maldonado progress on this.
