Typical trip profile

The driving is mixed with about 8 miles of city driving and 7 miles at 55 mph. I get up early to beat the traffic and try to time the lights ( drive as if there are no brakes), gliding with the clutch in idling at about 300 rpms. Once at speed I am in a tuck. The way home has more traffic and I take a route with the least stops, or at least I try to, and if I catch a long light I turn the engine off. I haven't been on any long highway trips yet and as long as the speeds are not too high it probably will do better than city. I am curious to see what the top speed will be in 6th gear, it pulls strong at 65.
