That's is normal behavior for me over the last three years.
I drive to Fl. 1180 miles and never exceed 65 mph.
On that same trip next month that maximum speed is being lowered to 100 kph or 62.1 mph.

I love long distance driving so twenty hours of driving doesn't bother me.

With 10 hours of fuel in the car, stops are at a minimum. I can't tell you how many times I have been passed 3 and 4 times by the same cars doing 70 plus mph on this trip. It's the old Tortoise and the Hare story.
More time on the road and less time at rest stops and restaurants means better miles per hour average for the trip.
