On the freeways, more like 65-75 mph. But using it saves fuel, and saves money.
A car's MPG decreases dramatically as it goes faster since it's fighting aerodynamic drag so one has a trade-off: get to your destination faster by going say, 75 MPH, with the result of poor gas mileage, or go 60 MPH and get much better gas mileage.
Mileage? In the Europe would that be kilometerage?
Now if everyone was paying attention 4 years ago, there was someone who told us that if we did all these things it would more than solve our current fuel crisis. I wonder if anyone remembers who that was who said that.
"America's quiet warriors are the legion of ham radio operators, 700,000 of them, who are always at ready for backup duty in emergencies – amateur, unpaid, uncelebrated, civilian radio operators, during and after floods and fires and tornadoes. After the 9/11 attacks, hams were indispensable in reuniting friends and families. Most recently it was they who expedited the search for debris after the Columbia Explosion , and right now, at this moment, they are involved in homeland security to a greater degree than you would want me to make public."

I don't know about you or anyone else, but I inflated my tires.

Well then, according to some people, you don't have a care in the world when it comes to fuel prices.
