Caught a tail wind in Utah. Whenever the load is reduced at high speeds, my car behaves this way and does it’s “ lean burn” mode or whatever you want to call it. High elevation at 5k feet and tail wind. Car charges the hybrid battery to the max then switches over to engine only versus engine and battery charging. The mpg goes insane and stays this way for a long time. I wonder if the car would behave the same way if I dramatically lowered the cars CD with a full boat tail and other mods? Just random thoughts. But mpg in the 60s while going 88 mph is just wild
