Subject:      Re: i luv summer diesel

In my travels in my 83 diesel I cruise happily at 65 mph which I use as an upper limit for my motor. In New Jersey on I-80 I have occasionally been pushed up to 70 by traffic but i fight this as i dont like to turn my engine over this fast.

I usually cruise around 60 mph, if i drop below this I have trouble on the hills (okay in upstate NY they are more like bumps) keeping up to speed.

How fast ultimo? My bunker-burner has pushed me up to 75 mph on the flat with some pedal left - maybe a little tailwind too ??

sps
