I think it's unreasonable to maintain 60MPH for an entire 700 mile trip. I can maybe do a couple hundred of miles at 60mph, but for a trip longer than that? A 700 mile trip? I'd get up to 75mph, 80mph, 85mph every chance I can just to shorten up the trip time as much as I can. I think I'd go insane if I had to stay at 60mph the entire way.

But nonetheless, getting 27MPG at 60mph is very easy for the Z4M.
