When I plug those number into the EM fuel economy tool--keeping the other default assumptions unchanged-- I get a horsepower need of just 7.56 at 60 miles per hour. Your graph seems to show about 10 horsepower needed at 60 miles per hour. Is there something I'm missing about your calculation? Different assumptions?

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. 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.
