    here is my prof 4600 gal used and 7.07 try to run speed limit when able. Now while I run mostly I10/20/30/40 so that helps, and 75 speed limit most time is awesome, but also spec'd truck with 3.42 gears and tall tires so It was designed to run at the optimum rpm and 75 mph, If we had 3.73 we would slow down to 70 to that magical 1450 to 1500 where the 12.7 Detroits like to run.

    No you're just missing the point. The point is that some of you leave your cruise control on until the last minute tailgating the truck in front of you then you whip out in the left lane in front of ANY vehicle to keep from having to slow down or to turn your cruise off.
    If you cannot do the speed limit in the right lane what speed limit can you do you have in the left lane?

    Aw man, you don't get the point. Nothing like the look of terror on a supertruckers face when you whip out in front of him doing the highway minimum in a 75mph zone.

    YOU ARE M.F.!!!! J.K. Both sides can cause problems, gotta drive safely, avoid cutting vehicles off or tailgating, etc. Or at least we all should.;)
