Pretty much. It looks like engine eff is increasing proportionally to the car's energy requirements increasing. Ideally, if your engine is operating at peak eff at ~55mph, it should be more like the other maps you posted from GCC. Maybe I'm being too optimistic but I think you still have way more available in terms of mileage at a slow highway cruise w/ your setup.
