Thanks for explaination, Joe (your log is fantastic!
 ).I suspected that difference was due to wheels slippage, now I understand real cause is another... -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Looking to plot above, during drive #50 MSL established the highest average speed after initial, unsurpassed record on drive #2 (Sol21): almost 2.9 cm/s. Looking to detailed speed plot, this is due to almost continuous drive at "cruise" speed around 3.5 cm/s... Curiosity is definitively heating her wheels!
 Edit: note also three consecutive "high speed" drives (aboout 1 inch/sec) after mentioned drive #50. -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Update:
Drive #55 established a new speed record, 34.5mm/s, slightly below the absolute record of Sol21 (35.8 mm/s) and, for sure, the longest drive at almost constant "cruise speed"! If we imagine for a moment she can hold such a speed for a 1.5 hours "long drive" (like the ones done in Sol 120 or 297), this would bring almost 200m in a sol, close to Opportunity drive record... Edit: Plot updated to Sol 331 / drive #58 -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

That shows us about 5m higher than at landing, our highest point yet. Promising for views.

Yes, fredk; in the following plots I also added last 10 Sol average distance (similar to MER stat plot) and average slope in each drive (bottom plot):

Update with a longer time baseline:
Interestingly, average speed in last "long" drives tends to steady increase from 12 to 15 mm/sec... (updated to Sol347 / drive #69 -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Update with zoom on last drives:
With last huge drive (#71, 85m) Curiosity is now at her farthest point from Bradbury landing station: 481m (203° azimut), compared to previous 444m record (sol 125)! Elevation is slightly decreasing (negative slope in last two drives) and average speed is quite stable, both within each drive both on a 10 sol base... -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
