Re: What Language in "MPH" should we be testing at.

The A.M.E.C. runs are held on public roads. The courses includes stop signs and lights. There is a maximum time limit for the course to prevent drivers from going too much under the posted speed limit, but that time is figured pretty close to what the speed limits would allow anyway. The total time over the course distance might give an appearance of a low speed, but that includes high speed sections that offset the time spent at lights.
Not too bad considering lower MPG at higher speeds, and zero mpg when waiting to pull out from a side street into traffic. In my opinion, that 40~45 mph average yields a more realistic result than steady-state cruising at 65 mph.
