    I cruise around 65. Haul a flatbed though and I know that hurts the MPGs

    If you remove all antennas and mirrors your mileage will go up about 20%.
    Mirrors are for sissies.
    Who cares what is behind you.

    The more new posts I read on this forum, the more I fear sharing the road with some “drivers.”
