    Same here. Run around 60/ 65 and my fuel mileage is great. Hammer on it and run higher, I use more fuel than oil and I have a detroit. lol

    The only time I can run triple digits is switching over to KMP

    Over 68 my mpg drops fast. 0.1 mpg per mph higher. She'll run, comes at a price tho. Next go around I'm changing the tires to tall 24 to gain a few mph

    Boss thinks I need to drive my truck at 70 mph so its running at 1475 to get the best mileage. I tried it and don't like it so I backed it down to 68. Seems like when you run at 70 you're always running up on someone and have to speed up to pass or slow down.

    I drive whatever the speed limit is. Drives people nuts to run with me on 2 lane roads. But whatever the limit is I'm running.

    You don't look far ahead enough to know you're running up on someone?

    I assume you meant to quote me on that? I see it my point about running 68 is that I can usually set the cruise and drive without having to go over the speed limit to pass people. That's of course on 70 mph freeways.

    Calgary. I just rode 60 KM on my bicycle after not riding it for three weeks. I think I'm going to be in pain for a bit.
