high speed cruising
85-95 and occasionally 100+ if traffic allowed on trips to Vegas, San Francisco and San Diego. My fastest time was 3 hrs 15 min non-stop from my former home in Santa Ana to parking lot of Ceasars Palace, the distance is 270 miles that made average speed at more than 85MPH.

ok, i never wanted this to be a speed contest. i guess im alone in the need not to speed.
31 MPG to and from Chicago at 85 mph with minimal city driving on 92-octane BP gasoline. This was over a few tanks of gas which should eliminate any small errors. I average 28-29 driving between 70-75.

I have found 80 yields better gas mileage than 70 in these cars. The F20C is definitely more efficient in the higher RPM's. My best mileage ever was driving a steady 85 mph.
I have cruised at 95mph for about 130 miles non stop. I had about 382 miles on that tank, and filled up 11.2 gallons.
You get the best gas mileage above 80, because in 6th, you barely have to hit the throttle to keep the momentum going.
