Got the car delivered today at San Antonio dealer and drove back to McAllen (Tx), had to fill the gas tank 2 1/2 times (i brought a small gas container with us) and drove at a cruise speed of 63 with a/c off.... actually all off including the info screen, but, MADE IT!! was awesome :)
 
You will find that you can leave the a/c on, drive at 67 and still maintain charge while on the REx. Climbing hills will drop the SOC a few %, but the descent or a few miles on the flats will let you recover. If your charge really drops down a few miles at 57 will bring it right back up even with the a/c and other systems running. The REx will run at maximum RPM when you are over 56mph so lowing down more is counterproductive.
