Mixed driving with occasional bits of heavy throttle keeps it at 37. So far the car has done about 700 miles so maybe it will loosen up a bit. My experience is that to get it to average even 40 (nevermind 50) on any meaningfully long stretch requires me to drive in a way that is totally unrealistic, and in a way that I will never, ever do.
is the handbrake on,
