The step of $60 means that the fuel will be cut in steps.  First to
159/256 of the full amount, then to 63/256, and finally fully cut.  Each
step is 1/80 of a second long.

I have a set of bins where manual transmission cars have an instant
DFCO, while automatics have an intermediate step of 50%.  Why - I dont know.

In the same set of bins I mentioned above, DFCO is allowed down to 1550
RPM.  This is on an engine that doesn't ever like running below 2000
RPM, and which idles at 950 RPM.
