Being the guy ran 2500 miles and at best was getting 10mpg and only stopped once that’s 125 gallons onboard.
Factory tank probably 15 gallons and maybe room for 40 in the trunk.
That leaves 70 gallons in the passenger compartment Hope it was a fuel cell.
Carrying a extra 110 gallons over factory is an additional 700 pounds of weight surging around in a light weight car.
I do have to agree that 105 mph average sounds awfully high.
Everything about the situation Sounds extremely Safe.
Not.
There is No Way you can safely drive 40 mph over the speed limit in traffic and not be a possible cause of an accident.
Take I-75 On the west coast between Naples and Tampa.
It’s 3 lanes of reckless abandonment . If you drive the 70 mph speed limit you are sitting still
You cannot predict what is going on with cars running up from your behind doing a 100 mph weaving thru traffic .
I haven’t driven a semi down here yet but dread driving my personal car on that stretch when I have to.
You could easily ticket 25% of the drivers here on that stretch for Careless driving.
I grew up going fast in fast cars. But take it to a track.
What if it Snows?

I went to traffic school in So. Cal. I couldn't believe. All the sweet tiny little voices would say: 104 in San Clemente.... or 115 in Riverside. They would throw me in jail for such speeds.lovesthedrive, Rocks, Snailexpress and 3 others Thank this. -

Well guys.... Looks like I'm probably going to run down to Loosey Anna on paper logs.
Haven't had a chance to check out the ELD. Cut the power to it and see. But it's probably that.
Truck is in the shop. Got an old brake issue. Only with my anal feedback to the owner. He thinks maybe we got it down this time. A distribution valve?
Won't get it back till Friday sometime.
If it is in fact, the ELD. Will run disconnected. Go ahead and order a ELD for my Garmin. Heck... Loves has them on sale for $179. Garmin sells them for $149. I can't see wasting the money.
And do you agree. Any reasonable DOT officer would understand? Especially if I show him my order for the ELD on my phone? And I do run good paper logs.Wasted Thyme, Vic Firth, lovesthedrive and 4 others Thank this. -
