    That is good to know. But, I only run at 62. Even though it is not limited.


    I got used to the fuel savings under the high price and just have kept it the same.

    What are you running again?
    I average 6-6.5 MPG depending where I'm running....I usually run 70 in states that allow 75 and I run 62 in CA and OR...no one ever bothers me running like that.

    I am back in the dodge pulling rv's again. Would not run illegal for the big truck company.

    I get anywhere between 7 and 12 loaded. Depends on the wind.

    Empty is about 18. When empty, I run 65.

    Brand new units going to the dealers.

    There is hope that the economy might struggle back up.
