Thanks for confirming that--so based upon a 2300 lbs vehicle you are accelerating at ~15 Hp.
At 40 mph the online calculator says your combined losses are about 8 Hp, 5 for rolling and 3 for aero. But those 60 psi tires may bring that down even lower.
Wish we had a BSFC chart to see where the 15 Hp curve crosses the contour lines...
