The easiest way to see if 70mpg is possible at 65 mph in a Prius C is to see what the instantaneous mpg gauge shows when you are drafting someone, since that is the car's aeromodding potential. When drafting, the only thing that has changed is the aero drag (rolling resistiance, drivetrain losses, etc, are unchanged) which is what you are reducing by aeromodding.
