When I flew down to Sun N Fun last year I had 75 mph indicated with 54
mph groundspeed.
At least the cars weren't passing you!

Yeah...but what were you getting on the outbound leg?

You're kind of a "glass is half empty" sort! :~)

I was getting 170 kts GS on the way there, gross weight, it was on the
ground 30 minutes before heading back, I tried to make the plane a bit
heavier by adding full fuel since I had emptied everything out of the
plane.

In the summer time, I can usually get 150 kts down and back, or real
close to 150 kts.
