I cruize the freeway around 80-85 mph, not braggin' its just this car is so damn smooth on the freeway its very natrual, kinda like the CSVT at speed Gas here in SE MI is about $2.80 something for premium, so it looks like its trying to come back down to something "normal". The other thing is that my car gets 23 mph with mixed driving and 28-29 on a straight freeway trip and thats going 70-75 mph, very comparable to the CSVT yet once again, amazing!
