Generally I would consider myself one of the slower drivers but in this group I could probably be lumped in with "faster people" and yup I travel on a regular basis. I am not sure what you are saying about patience, could you clarify?
I have 700km to drive tomorrow and 600km on thursday. Will I be speeding? yah sometimes.
Depending how the gravel is tomorrow I might be going 110-115 on the paved sections since I only have 8 hours to do the trip before someone else is sitting at the compound enduring unpaid overtime until I get back. Burning an extra $20 of gas would be worth not having a co-worker have to wait a whole hour for my return, keeping good work relations and also finishing on time.
On thursday I have no such constraints so normally I would be going slower but I want to test out how going 115km/h compares to 100, 105, and 110 for fuel efficiency in relation to the first post on this thread. I will be alternating my speed.
I bet you if people had places to be 100 years ago they pushed their horses a little bit harder to get there in a bit faster, no different than today.
