Without cars like the PaleCivic and the Aerocivic still active, the top end is lower than once upon a time. But I was usually only number 2 or 3 at this time of year. During the winter I was sometimes #1. Once or twice I was even number 1 during a warmer season because others had not driven their rides in a while (or posted their numbers). But as summer progressed, I would always drop to about 5th position. All good.

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.
