I think this may be a situation where there were other factors involved based on the fact that the 35i isnt capable of getting that kind of milage without a boost from wind, terrain or otherwise. Maybe you had a tailwind? Even if so still suspect.

oh wait, i guess there is a reason, if you are in 6th gear and doing like 45 to 50 MPH maybe. But i would argue that is no fun unless you are on a coastal road watching not the road but the surf as it brushes up against the shore.
