You're definitely right. It was kind of a weird fluke that day. My mileage was significantly better than usual, so I didn't trust the first click. I was wrong.

JR, 22mph and no signs of lugging? That's impressive. What rpm is that? I can do 47mph at around 1500 rpm in 5th - any lower and it doesn't feel right.
I've been winging the DWL. Gain speed before the ascent, and bleed off speed by the peak. Naturally, it's not terribly specific.
Maybe I'd consider a vacuum gauge, but my safety hang-up is still there.
