What are you averaging for MPGs? If I drive "rationally," I'm getting
about 23-25 MPG in suburban areas with light traffic and a few
stoplights, and 27-29 MPG on the Interstates if I stay at my typical
60-65 mph. Six-speed manual tranny. Drove wife's Camry 4-cylinder auto
up to Bowie earlier this week, about 30 miles, on U.S. 301, and averaged
37 MPG for light traffic, but plenty of traffic lights, driving. That
sort of MPG will put a smile on my face with a nice-sized four-door
sedan.

If you drive 60 to 65 on the interstates you should be arrested for
obstructing traffic. Here in FL 80 to 85 is more like it. Even in
nanny states like NY people are now doing 70 to 75.


I drive at the posted limit or usually a few mph below it, if it is 70.

Driving slow in the left lane on I-95 with your turn signal on and
little old ladies giving you the finger I guess.
Just be careful around Miami. They shoot at snowbirds who **** up
traffic there.

I can show you twisty roads.

Reminds me of Indianapolis. In the 1980’s was there on business.
Customer was only about 2 miles from the airport. Had a couple days to
kill waiting for the problem to possibly reoccur. Had a Datsun Z car as a
rental. There are curvy roads outside Indy. Brakes on the Z car fade
bad.

Here, driving slow in the left lane, even the speed limit gets you an
impeding traffic ticket.

Other than renting time on a track, there's really nowhere to drive a
high performance, road hugging car anymore. When I bought the BMW M5,
the purchase included time on a track somewhere down south ... one of
the Carolina's I think. I never took advantage of it. One of the
reasons I liked the Porsche more was that even at 30 mph on narrow back
roads, it still felt like a sports car. But again, there are really no
places to drive it to it's potential without either risking yourself,
others or ending up in the clink.

I have become the same. When on the interstates I drive 65-70 mph max.
Really don't give it **** if it ****es anyone off.

It reminds me of traveling down the ICW on a power boat versus a
sailboat that is putt-putting along at 4 or 5 knots. You overtake the
sailboat in the morning and then in the afternoon when you've pulled
into a marina and are fueling up, the same sailboat soon goes
putt-putting by you again.

Road rage Wayne...



In the old days, I'd race them. Now, I just let them pass me. If they
are the type to give me the finger, I just smile at them.

What's the big hurry? It's not like I am doing 45 mph. I am doing the
speed limit or slightly above.
