I inflated the tires close to the max, babied the throttle unbeliveably, and killed the engine in downhill traffic all the way home, and averaged 62.
It ain't easy, but it's possible. Hell, even putzing around in VT below 65mph, I average in the mid/high 50's. Granted, hogging it out drops that figure into the low 40's, but still.

I average in the mid/high 50's as well... never been able to break the 60MPG zone though (I actually own the very same license plate backing from Aerostich, except I have the more truthful 50MPG one
). But I also haven't tried cutting the engine and coasting down hills either. Necessity is the mother of invention
