I think normally driving, 30mph usually comes in about 8-9 seconds, maybe 11 tops. Creeping along on a summer day, noone else around, in the country, I can drag it out as long as 1 min to get to 40mph. (mostly at the top end though, since I won't let the engine rev past 2k when I'm just "out" driving.)

This, of course, is in Granny... my old Civic (officially being parted out) I don't think I could take more than 15 seconds to get to 30... so take what you will from this.
