I had been doing 58 to 68 actual mph using P&G and EOC on the freeway, and I have recently slowed down the pace a little so that it's more like 55 to 65 mph. I don't always use those techniques, though and when I'm just a steady cruising I usually pick about 60 miles per hour are there actual or indicated depending on my mood. With techniques like those I can score into the middle sixties easily. The topping up over 70 poses a challenge. Hence the thread title!

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.
