3. Few moments after, road was becoming bumpy so just decided to slow down.
4. Released my foot from the accelerator didn't touched the brake since there were no cars. Just waited for the car to decelerate.
Suddenly while the car was decelerating, an odor "entered" the cabin, (not very strong, but definitely present) it's somewhat similar to the smell of "BURNT RUBBER" can't really explain what it was.
The smell was there for around 5 seconds, and I opened my windows then it was gone.
I got scared. Stopped at the nearest gas station, checked the tires, they seem to be OK.
On the way home, stayed at around 60-90mph. Car seems normal.
Have no idea what really happened. Cause before I also used ran at this speed and didn't had this odor.
Anyone has experienced this after running high speed??

There is no relation to the speed you were driving and the smell. What you have is an oil leak somewhere. Most likely it is your vacuum pump leaking.
