Sounds about right. I know that when I'm using my hips, I can ride 1-2 mph faster, for as long as the muscles last. The more often I do it, the longer I can make them last; but then I move to one of my other bikes and I have to start all over again. It seems minor differences in position make for major differences in how the muscles are coordinated.
