It's the reason CVTs were designed, to keep the engine near it's peak BSFC island of efficiency.

so its based on load? that would explaid why if i have a MILD tailwind ( nothing crazy) and i have my car on cruise controll, i can be going 80 miles per hour and my mpg will skyrocket to like 70-75 mpg! the mpg boosts big time. even better than going 55-60mph with no wind at all
