How fast do you drive? ALL

posted by  someone claiming to be Jim Gallagher on  Tue Oct 9 18:42 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Just an informal survey of sorts, if you guys don't mind.

On my daily commute, on an interstate where the limit is 65mph, I am often passed (at 70mph, seems to be my car's "sweet spot") by motorists behind the wheels of every kind of vehicle that you could imagine. I'd estimate that most of these folks are doing at least 80. Seems to be an unwritten rule that, on some roads, the limits are merely "advisory."

I rarely push my 245 past 75, just because it doesn't "feel right." Once I hit 80 or so, it gets pretty buzzy (3000+rpm). Fuel economy seems to drop off quickly past 70-75.

What about you folks? Are you still flying down the fast lane at 90mph Chris? ;-)
