I try to keep my highway speed at 60 mph.  Sometimes it creeps up to 65,
particularly when there is downhill.  Depending on conditions, I may try to
stay at 55 mph.  I didn't get this thing to go fast, I got it to go
camping.  It isn't built for speed.  It is noisy at high speed, and handles
better at moderate speeds.  The gas consumption increases dramatically at
higher speeds.  By staying at 60 mph I get about 20 mpg.  When I tried to
70 mph years ago on interstates it was more like 16 mpg.
