How Fast

[4'running'26]

Here in Ohio I tend to set the cruise somewhere around 71 MPH while on the interstate. I take at least two trips out west each year and what I set my cruise at just depends on how I'm feeling: anywhere between 70 MPH and 80 MPH and that's dependent upon speed limit, traffic, time of day, fuel prices, etc. I'd say I average 73 MPH on the cross-country driving.

At 70 MPH I can easily get 21 MPG in good weather (sometimes upward of 23). At 80 MPH I can barely squeak out 15 MPG.

speed limitish in town, 70 is usually my highway max because anything faster is north of 3k rpms in 5th and i dont love that for extended periods. Most of the time 65 is a better highway cruising speed. As stated above, im in no hurry and when i am its in one of the other cars.
