I run a 1.9 and an auto trans, with 235/75 R15 tires, and usually cruise at 3600-3800 RPM, which places me just under 70mph. I am usually empty, or only lightly loaded. Camping loading cuts into the milage, but not the engine "happy" zone... --- On Sun, 6/27/10, Stephen Cebula <sfcebula@YAHOO.COM> wrote:

I'm just curious. At what speed do most of you drive on the freeway? On flat road, that is...I'm in a 1.9 and usually keep it around 60mph. |
