Odd thing. This only does it at 20mph? Say I am travelling along on a flat road, motor power only. I get up to 20mph and keep it there for a short while, then reduce the throttle slightly, even though the power meter says that I have reduced power, I am still doing 20mph? Ok, 15 mph reads 3 bars on the meter, 20 mph, 4 bars initially, but after a short while, I can get it down to 3 bars, still doing 20 mph?
 
And the motor may actually operate more efficiently at 20 mph.

But some of what you are seeing is just a time lag on that type of power meter. So you may be seeing a combination of things, efficiency improving, less needed to maintain 20 mph than it needed to get from 15 to 20 mph, and a small time lag on the input averaging built into the meter.
