I generally drive the posted limit. Some time i feel the need to go a tad slower. But not often.

I usually set the cruise control a little slower then the flow of traffic in the right lane. That way I can more or less relax and not have to hit the brake and start all over again (hitting the cruise reset). deSanford Of course if the trucks are all going 55 in the right lane I will also set my cruise to 55.

The governor kicks in at 85 but the Queen kicks in much sooner.

We usually keep it at 65 to 67 thats where i get the best fuel mileage so i chose 65 to 70 but on back roads in the mountains tend to do 50 plus or minus. Sometimes want to go faster but have you ever had that hot feeling ,the hairs on your neck stand up, well thats the wife looking at you .

That would be the type that are hard to shut down when you get there, start all by themselves prior to leaving?
