I like to run pretty hard in the left lane on the freeway, so every mph counts for my driving style. 100 mph happens around 4000 rpm, which is after my torque starts dropping off, so it is not exactly exciting thrilling as I hit 100 mph, but I rarely drive that fast.
Great stuff. Has your range changed? How much range do you have, anyway?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
