Where on earth can you drive 55-58 MPH without getting run over? I did a trip this weekend...averaged like 63 (58 on the low and 70 on the WAY high side) and felt like I was going to get run off the road... Seems like today's cars are geared to move at much higher speeds :-( people just don't seem to care about those like us... On the positive side, I got 20.25 MPG :-) Dave On 9/22/05, Gary Bawden <mrarachnid@yahoo.com> wrote: > > I keep reading about Diesel powered vanagons being > slow...well, perhaps it is, but it moves much more > zestfully than my old '66 bus with the 1500 aircooled > engine!
