55 and stay alive get 10 Plus miles per gallon
55 MPH on hiways and biways? I stayed alive at more than that on every
motorcycle, car, and motorhome I ever owned. Shoot, with a few mods, I can get 60 MPH out of a pedal start moped. You are retired, right Jon? You have time to go low and slow for 2 MPG -- good on ya!!! Those Navy ships were mighty slow and set the speed standard for you did they???? ![]() and get 12 MPG. It'll remind you of max speed on your ships. I have never done 55 in any vehicle capable of more, unless in a school zone. I could have had you and Dave home in 12 hours min less... when you pulled out of NM for WA. ![]() ![]() Remember, I am the previous owner of the "10 MPG" coach you keep bragging on ..that my best was 8 MPG in. Wait 'till I retire and make a $$ bet.. then and I'll drive that same coach at 45 MPH and get 11 MPG in the old coach.... (no I won't, I'd get 50 miles down the road and crank her way up anyways - $$ bet be darned). My wife does keep telling to slow down though. Maybe when I reach your advanced age I'll be able to do 55??? Dan ![]() --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Jon" > > Just getting back to good economical driving pratice.
