Yes, on the highway I have to keep around 55 mph or the least little incline claws my speed right down. I have tried Pulse and Glide, on the highway, but as you say, the car is so light and not all that aerodynamic, that if I push the clutch in at 60, I'm down to about 40 in a couple of hundred yards.
All my highway driving is done when the roads are really busy. I cannot be holding up other drivers, particularly on the two lane.
This is typical of highway driving in Scotland.
