I too noticed what you are talking about with the LOD indicator. The mysterious thing in the case of my Ford Escape with 6 speed automatic is that this 99 rule applies when the "cruise control is on". When driving normally without cruise the transmission seems to downshift at just the slightest increase in throttle position. I'm going to do a bit more checking, but it would appear that my transmission computer is going to give better fuel economy while the car is in cruise mode by design.
