In the recent past, I have seen volks post speed numbers similar to the
above.  Not saying that any of these figures are unrealistic, but aren't
you affraid of your engine digesting it self at these speeds?  Keeping one
eye on the speedo and the other on the tach, I start to get nervous at
65mph, as the tach approaches the limit of the solid green range, moving
toward the broken green range.  It seems, at least in my bus, that sixty is
a nice, comfortable cruise speed - not taxing the engine, but perhaps
slowing up traffic a bit.
