I've been observing my UltraGauge for the past few weeks and I notice that my Instantaneous MPG value goes higher at 60-65 versus 50-55 using DWL and no A/C with a throttle position below 18. It also causes my Average MPG value to rise and my Instantaneous Gallons Per Hour stays relatively the same.

Is it possible that my vehicle gets better mileage at higher speeds with low-moderate throttle position??
