    Set at 65. Get a warning if I let if roll to 70 for more than 6 seconds and haven't heard a word about it.

    Redline is at 96, but as long as I keep it under 88 I'm ok...

    65 @ Con-Way, I let it roll down hills more often than not if my way is clear. I've had it around 70-75 down the hills, never had any problems with the safety department

    64 mashed down, 66 on cruise. (in my truck anyway) Get a warning at 69 or greater even letting gravity work in my favor.
