When I bought my Mazda in 2015 I remember reading that they chose to stick with a conventional automatic design instead of a CVT for a couple of reasons, but I don't remember if fuel economy was in there.

40-45MPH = 40-45MPG with the EVT transmission.. considering the engine is barely moving at 1,000-1100 RPM in v4 mode not too bad for 3.0L displacement...
i'm sure this "special mode that it falls into" might be able to get higher then 48mph by improving the Aero dynamics...(mpg falls and it switches to normal mode) so 38 to 45mph is the sweet spot
