Default V4 mode

I know some of you will say this is a good thing, however my '19 Z06 Automatic will rarely if at all drop down to V4 mode. Cruise on 65, 60, 55,50 nope. It will indicate V4 when coasting and very occasionally when at slower speeds. I had a '18 GS and it went to V4 at highway speeds with no issue. Any comment as to why this is going on, or better said, why it isn't? I like the savings when just cruising.

Thanks

Not sure if you meant Z06 A8. When I had my 2017 Z06 A8, before I put the range on it, when it would drop into V4 the slightest change in throttle pressure would send it right back to V8, it never stayed in V4 more than a few seconds. That was on the flat roads in Florida. I also heard the Z06 have a tendency to stay in V8 mode longer than the stingray and GS would in the same circumstances. Hope this helps.
