75 mph is better for fuel economy but 80 is comfortable too and doesn't make the engine feel stressed, but i resist going above that.
on another note: my speedo has never been that far out as others seem to find theirs. using oe tyres and tested againt a top of the range garmin gps it seems to be less than 3 mph out.
