I have to throw-in the component of driving style into the mix.

At high speeds, you have to be moving a massive amount air out of the way, just to cruise. In addtion to physical modification, I wouldn't discount the possibility of driving efficiently. The difference between 60 and 70 MPH may mean all the available aero mods you're willing to affix.

I'll admit that it's a tough challenge, and easy to defeat this "mod", but if you hold in there on the long trips, you won't be disappointed.
