Knock retard at partial throttle on the freeway

Hey guys forgive me if this has already been covered but i couldn’t find anything but im registering knock consistently on my AP V3 when at very moderate throttle opening during cruising speed on the highway for example i will be cruising at 75 and if i ease on the throttle or ease off the throttle i will register 5.45 on my knock sensor and it will slowly taper off to 0 or if i let off the throttle it will drop immediately same thing with acceleration. Im wondering if this is just ignition retard for fuel economy purposes or something else. I can make a data log if necessary. Nothing is wrong with the car otherwise and when this happens i dont notice anything happening as far as weird noises or vibrations. Any input would be awesome not really concerned because i dont register Knock retard at full throtte or under any other circumstances so im not concerned just curious

 

While I appreciate your concern for the data, this is a known condition for fuel economy purposes. Knock at light load is OK, and at times intentional.

 

You guys are awesome thank you and sorry for the late reply
