Default How fast have you gone?

Contrary to all efforts to improve your MPG, what is the fastest you've gone?

This is the first car I haven't tried to run flat out, but I have had it around 80-85 a couple times. Highway acceleration is fantastic.

88 miles per hour while coasting down a mountain. No arrows to the engine or wheels for 45 seconds. My guess is the computer put the car in neutral to protect the high rpm of the generator. Once it slowed to about 85 the arrow to the wheels came back on. The whole run is for about two or more miles coasting in drive at 80 mph.

This was driving east from Las Cruces over the San Augustin pass just above the city of White Sands, NM.

I know the car gives you an Excellent on the screen when you've been a good little boy or girl if you drive with high FE.
Does the screen say anything special when you top 100 miles per hour?
I imagine it would say "Shame on you!", "I'm going to tell your parents on you" or "If you do keep doing that you'll go blind" (you may be too young to understand that reference)
