I was thinking of trying to start from 75 when I do coast downs, but the roads suitable for 75 are also typically too busy in daylight hours for me on doing a coast down. I would have ran higher speeds initially, but I had found in previous tests that if I run faster than, or even near the typical speed of other cars on the road that I'll end up following / pacing / drafting / hoping to pass someone, more of the time. I used to live near an under utilized 4 lane, but since recently moving, I'm still on the lookout for better spots to run
