I'd love to have the know-how to do a 3-wheeled motorcycle like the 125mpg HyperRocket, but I'd probably still hang around in the 45-60 mph range unless I have long highway trips, then would do around 60 if not in a time crunch.
At about 50mph and above, most of the fuel is to overcome wind resistance.
I'd like to challenge those routinely above 65 to try going a bit slower if the commute is not a really long haul. I'm NOT talking about going 22 or close to that - just going the posted speed limit or somewhat slower.
In most cases the majority of speeding proponents are doing it for behavioral reasons.
Basjoos, I'm not picking on you.

Not distorted in the least Chuck. If you want to carry this conversation on use a PM and I will get you my email address.
I was a member of that forum with an idea I had worked on for a number of years. Literally 1000's of hours with some national recognition from respected engineering institutions.
The response I recieved from some members of that forum can be only described with one word, and I will not post that word here.
