Nope
Here all I have gotten outa Supes speed.
Travelling speed, say, between galaxies, Superman has Faster Than Light capabilities... but that's by no means an operating speed (which is to say, that Superman could move, dodge, react, etc. at FTL). On Earth, even if Superman is potentially capable of such speed, he'd never use it because- unlike the Flashes- he doesn't have an aura that cancels out his affect on the environment. When he goes super-sonic, sonic booms follow.
What I have gotten from Superman fan sites is Supermans Maximum Speed: 60,000 mph (flight – atmosphere), 300,000,000 mph (flight – space, about half the speed of light), 30,000 mph (running). I'd say that's roughly what it's supposed to be but doesn't match his feats. 78 Mach might be his top atmospheric speed, but according to you we never see him move like that in atmosphere... on the other hand, he HAS to be capable of FTL speeds to perform some of the things he's done, such as flying between galaxies (sub-light then he'd be gone for years) or taking Darkseid to the sun in seconds. Much like all speed, it's a plot device in nature... Supes is as slow or as fast as the situation demands to tell the story.
Thus I don't really believe that Superman is much faster than Thor.
