Yeah... here in CO, the freeway speed limit is 75 many places, and you can still get run over going 75. It really kills the mileage on my Prius to go over 60 or so (as in, it gets under 50mpg -- it'll do 85, but mileage is more like 42 at that speed). Luckily, my EV will never see the freeway -- it's 30 miles to get to a freeway from my house, and it'll only have a 45ish mile range, so it'll stay closer to home, mostly on 35 and 45mph roads.
We took the iMiev on the freeway when test driving it, and it actually did 75 fine -- I was surprised for a car designed for city driving.
