At that speed and hopefully you were on a highway with only 19 miles of gas left not only are you cutting it close regarding running out of gas, you run the risk of damage to your car as the gas in the tank is used as a coolant.
And you took a picture of the dash at that speed...........
I gather you are not of the conservative mold.

Well I was in a hurry on Sunday and decided to see what the ole girl to do. I ended up going about 5 mph faster than the pic but thought at that point I better watch the road.
The funny thing is, the car didnt show any signs of slowing down. Scary...but also fun.
And yes, I know I was almost out of gas.

She pulled hard from 70 to 140, then, ran out of beans. The Z06 pulled alongside, gabbed another gear,
then continued on.
Simple rocket science: 8 slugs pumping 7 litres of mixture at 11:1 compression=see ya later!
But when he reached his destination...I'm sure he didn't pull a set of Pings out of his trunk. Or remove
the GRACO Snugfit (you know who you are) out of the back seat!
I'll be ok...just need a little space right now

I too had that need this weekend. But it was a black Z06 up my ass that caused it. Quite proud of the 5'er.
