We've not yet had the car "on the highway" so no idea what it

In Montana it's hard to come up with anyplace to go that does not require
serious driving


Well, once "out of town", that's the way it would be, here
(as you know).

Unfortunately, *getting* out of town is a major challenge from
our location (I10 goes south and west of town; we're north and east).
So, the better part of an hour to get *on* the interstate (if
headed to feenigs)

OTOH, you can do 45 on many of the roads in town -- just not for
very FAR (before encountering yet-another-traffic-signal). A bit
over 4000 miles on the car -- at an average speed of 18 MPH (I think).
