Did you drive the Honda 90 MPH down US 75?

On occasion, more often 80 to 85. The car was always very solid at
that kind of speed - good tires of course, and everything in balance.
Europeans drive that fast all the time even faster in Germany. The
US, particularly the eastern states, has always been more sedate. I
see signs of change however. At one time anything over 70 would get
you a guaranteed ticket on the New York State Thruway. Nowadays a lot
of people are running 75+.
I trained my petal foot to think about safety and fuel economy. That
usually means at or under the speed limit.
That's the way I've gotten with the truck. The motorcycle likes about 75mph.

I love speed. My brother has a Chevy van, diesel. Says he gets 22 mpg,
but never drives over 55. I do not want to spend all day going a short
distance.
