Thank you for that, but it begs this question ... What speed range?

I have been toying with 55 - 65mph, which keeps me going at a pace I can tolerate. I am guessing if I use 55-70 I will get worse mileage due to wind resistance and perhaps better if I do 50 - 60, for the same reason?

Any thoughts?
