Possibly but speed more likely to be 50-55mph I tend to drive at 40-50mph on my commute.
I now use quite a lot of manual assist and am using Mima manual mode with max assist set to 50%. I am determined to exhaust my batteries by using up their cycle life rather than their 7 or so years calendar life! I try to keep to around 40A or 1C discharge for my cells. I only use Mima mode 2 with max 100A assist for climbing severe hills.
My mpg is climbing steadily and last 1000 miles daily use it's around 140mpg Imp. Weather is a bit better now so that helps as we had a terrible winter.
Even so you still have to let the car warm up to acheive lean burn so that uses x amount of fuel, I
must go back to my thermos project and get it finished to reduce warm up time! Too much to do, too little time and money!
Since i reset my LMPG a month and several thousand miles ago during the end of the winter lmpg is now 130mpg imp and climbing slowly, so my estimate in my post below was off (low) by at least 10mpg
