I don't need a tech 101 lesson. For a DSM to go in closed loop it needs to be at a fairly constant speed, engine RPM and no drastic TPS changes. All DSM's should be running at closed loop on the highway, so there isn't anything special about yours. If you truely are getting mid 30's for gas mileage, you had better have an EGT. You are very lean. On a FWD it is doable because of the taller gearing, lighter weight, and less drivetrain loss.
