I ran my OM615 manual up to its top speed of 84.3 mph. Not for overly long periods, but she was able to get there and stay there for at least a few miles at a time. I found that she was most happy cruising at 70mph on trips to Portland (350 round trip). Mountain passes seemed to top out at 60mph on steep slopes. Speed drop from 70 to 60 over a five or six mile climb
