again, not buying the '70 is tooooo slow and dangerous'.

I'm all over arlington, south grand prarie, dallas, plano oak cliff.......
Trqaffic is NOT moving at (as a block) at over 70.

I WILL tell you (see my post...I CONFESS>>) that with the rolling hills on 35 I cant get the same mpg as I was getting in Sacramento.
All the more reason to drop 10mph.

What I find interesting is your tendencies to qoute 'extremes'
for example: you make a point to say you wont drive 45mph. That fine, but what about all the other reasonable suggestions that have beren made?
And claiming you HAVE to drive 80 to be safe....another extreme statement.

Have you aired up your tires?
