Zeno has a 1.9l NA Diesel and sits quite nicely at 58 MPH.  I can make him
go faster, but that's crossing well over the line into flank speed and
probably not a very nice thing to do to the engine.  At that speed Zeno
averages about 30 MPG.

My grey van with 1.9 loves 58mph indicated and Dixie used to agree (more or
less)  but since she's been re-powered and re-geared we've been bombing
along at 75 - 80 mph.  Gas mileage has been lousy though, so I'm trying to
keep it under 70...
