"Obviously I'd like to keep my top speed to a minimum to be legal, yet get some good numbers.

If anyone has ideas on this, please let me know."

In many areas, the unofficial rule is that in good conditions, the speed limit goes up 10% or more. You can probably start your coast down tests at the average actual speed others go on that stretch with little risk of a ticket. You might even get more significant numbers for the aero mods while reducing the risk of a low-speed ticket.
