    which is more important to you? an hour or 5 dollars? to me, an hour is more important. i would travel about 85-90 and not worry too much about the mpg

    I bet you have a bunch of tickets, don't you? I'd rather cruise somewhere near the posted speed than to get busted for doing over the limit anyday of the week.

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    80-90 is the "unposted" speed limit for big interstates/highways. everytime i travel if im not going around those speeds im getting passed all over the place.

    As an honest answer. Drive at night. Less traffic and temperatures would be cooler for a more efficient engine. You'd probably wouldn't need A/C either. Everytime I visit my brother in South Carolina, I drive at night.

    i got my fair share of tickets, but that was when i was younger, ive only had 1 in the last year and that was on a recently changed speed limit road. ive never had one on the interstate. doing 85-90 on the interstate is about the norm. drive 70 and get ran the **** over.
