Congratulations! And without gauges. Pretty nice. You might try 55-65 or 55-70mph. There is more wind resistance, but safer re: people behind you and no chance of police attention. You're on the Jersey Pike? A lot of fast movers across multiple lanes, and I-80 and I-95 are as big as any CA freeway near the City where you live.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
