It all depends upon the speed of the group, how many are involved in the group/pack, wherte you are in the group, how tight the group is, whether it's rotating paceline, etc.
But if you are with a group of good riders in a tight paceline, you certainly withh go a good bit faster than 1.5 mph of your solo pace
