[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 968199, member: 52972"] xero2099, I am not saying that you have to do the speed limit...I am saying that you should get in the right hand lane and move with the flow of traffic so that you stay the same distance back from the vehicle in front of you. That will mean that you do not have to slow down and speed up which eats up your gas mileage. This does not work in high traffic areas and especially not in rush-hour traffic.... Everyone claims that you cannot drive at the speed limit in their area, but that is only because they don't have the patience to do it. If the speed limit is 65 MPH most people are doing around that speed, but the idiots who want to go 70 MPH or 75 MPH are darting in an out of traffic thinking they are getting there faster. When you average the number of times they speed up and slow down, they are not going any faster than anybody else and probably only saved about 15 seconds with the added expense of several dollars of extra fuel wasted. ....Rich [/QUOTE]
