This seems rather lowish to me... I do rev the engine, always going to 5k to shift to 2nd. I never drive any higher than 4th gear, ever but i never drive over 65mph, ever.
10mph seem a bit low? I was thinking 12-14ish would be more likely?

3rd gear, red-lined at 101 mph is where all the fun is :-).
I average ~13 mpg (50% highway driving - "occasionally" over the speed limit). Revving around town like a teenager

My average (Measured by actual amount of gas filled vs. actual mileage, and I drive pretty hard most of the time, lots of >5k rpm shifts)
after 29,000 kilometers
15.3 L/100km city/hwy mix (15.4 mpg)

15 miles of highway, a lot of it is stop and go traffic. a lot of little runs to the store.
a lot of high revving in 2nd around town, etc.
given all that in your view is it still too low?

the traffic and idling i do.
i am thinking it is normal for the driving.
as far as driving over 65, with the traffic i'm in, there is not even an opportunity to, were i to do that.
but honestly i find the most fun to be had is on smaller twisties, not driving super fast on a highway which can barely be felt...

...same thing, 15 mile commute, plus some city driving. My average is currently in the high 15's overall, but I've been doing a bunch of WOT runs for data logging recently.
