Sounds you'd probably be close to 50 at that speed?

Getting 50+ in mine requires a lower average speed & operating the engine like it's a hybrid whenever I'm off the power. Not to mention all the ecomods.
With high performance summer tires, and no major ecomods yet, I'd say low 50's is achievable steady-state cruising at 80kph.

I probably ought to make a speed vs mpg chart, now that you mention it.
