I just traveled 5000 miles with the gauge in my Crossfire. When coasting, even down a slight grade on the hiway, it immediately goes to open loop. Just touch the gas for 5 secs, and it goes back to closed loop. I understand completely why it is doing this, I just never noticed this in any other cars, but then I never traveled with an OBD2 reader hooked up either.
