Also...

I notice by observing my UltraGauge while operating cruise control that during downgrades as the cruise control is slowing my car down to maintain speed, my Instantaneous and Average MPG will increase by several tenths to up to a few points during any trip, as if it appears to be increasing my mileage. Is this a GLITCH or is it actually improving my fuel economy??
