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. -- Ban idiots, not guns! 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. I set my cruise control for about 68 when not towing, and I get about the same mileage. A bit less than 70 is a very comfortable speed. Of course, I'm probably a lot more senile and laid back than you are! :) -- Ban idiots, not guns! You have a newer truck. They brought out the extra transmission gear after my 2004. Bette mileage. I am laid back. But love speed. Drag raced in high school, and later ran a 1964 vetted coupe in SCCA racing. Me and m Corvette are in the original Herbie movie. He Laguna Seca segment. Silver car. I run about 80 on the open freeway. Speed limit is 70. |
