I do 65-68 on the hwy wherever I go - I don't care if I am holding people up - that is why there is a passing lane or two - people arn't paying my fuel bill. It makes a big difference in my truck if I do 65-68 or 75 the little bit of extra time saved is not worth the money to me, I plan accordingly and take my time.

I do 110 everywhere I go. Screw the mpg. Going 100+ is so much more fun.

Ok, seriosuly, on my way to work I got about 10 - 25 mph since I'm in stop and go traffic, so I get about 10mpg. It sucks. And I have to throttle relatively hard to prevent ******** in bmw's from squeezing in and then letting the rest of the world in in front of them.

I respect that 100%....I dont care if you drive 55 in a 75 zone. Just be a good driver and stay the hell out of the left lane. This causes more road rage than anything.

I hear ya there. I'm close to the interstate (75 mph) and it takes about 8 minutes to get to work on that but I take the back roads (40 mph) and it takes about 15 minutes. But on the interstate I can WATCH my fuel gauge plumet. Taking the back roads a tank will last all month or better, and at $100+ to fill, you bet your *** I can drive slow!
