how fast can the 2010 go in strictly electric mode?

IIRC the Gen II Prius nominally would go 43 MPH, electric only, wasn't it?, if you had a light touch on the gas pedal...but then some smarties reported the gasoline engine was sometimes "off" (or either appeared to be "off", according to the display) at much higher speeds, like 50+, on level road, if you weren't accelerating.
