Varn, The saving grace for the commute is that it's all interstate, except for the part closest to home. 35 mph for about 1.5 miles, and then interstate for the rest of the time. Two traffic lights in the entire drive.
I average 70-72 mph, but the week I did the 900 mile tank, it was closer to 63 where I was running at 2200 RPM which seems to be the sweet spot for this engine.
