    usually 70mph but if I'm in a hurry or just tired anywhere from 65mph to 90 mph is up for grabs. Mostly though, it's 65-75mph.

    Came back from las Vega last week and speed limit is 80 mph, so was cruzing at 85mph with everyone else, but typically 70-75mph where it’s posted.

    Usually around 65. Speed limit in the area is 55 but everyone goes 10 mph above it. (CA). And in places that 65 I go 70. I always leave myself time to get where I need to. This way I'm not speeding or might make a reckless driving decision.

    Driving late at night I'll set cruise at 65. I can get 25-26 cruising at 70+. Traffic and hills are the significant factors once you learn to ease up on brake lights or slower vehicles. Mixed work driving is generally 22-24. Worst it's been was 21 after stop/go for 1 1/2 hours. I like to enjoy driving and rowing the gears is something I've missed after 16 years in an automatic. I try not to get caught up in frenetic driving but sometimes fail. I-80 to/from Tahoe is a nightmare with a high likely hood of 30-40 mph speed differences coming up suddenly.

    Fastest I've ever gone for extended periods of time was 85 on I-10. Had 4 people in the truck and a full bed+bed extender. Usually go about 70-75.

    My engine purrs in 5th gear at 55 mph. It sings a very sweet tune indeed. Can easily go faster, but I only get that harmonic humm going 55. Good mileage at that speed, too. :)

    Going 55-60 in both my 2.4 single cab and 3.4 double cab. In the far right lane I’ve gotten 24.5 mpg in the 3.4 driving to Tahoe. Haven’t taken the single cab far but average around 22 so should me higher if it’s all highway.

    The only time I think wtf am I doing is when a 1989 Toyota truck zooms past me going 80
