Hello, all...Remember the 70's gas " shortage" and the long lines at the pumps? That is also when they implemented the 55 MPH speed limit to save on gas as well..
The past two days, I have used my cruise control and set it to 55 MPH for my 45 minute commute..Feels soooo slow, however, my MPG measured an impressive 40 MPG at this constant highway speed with NO stops or slows...
When I travel in normal mode, my MPG is only about 28 to 30 when going a steady 65 to 70 MPH...
Imagine what those obnoxious SUV's are getting when they pass me at 85 MPH AT LEAST!
Just my thought for the day....John
