Driven Virginia from Willamsburg to Blacksburg to Ashburn in my CVT Insight and averaged 70.2 MPG with an average speed close to 55 MPH. Over 600 miles on that trip. I have been to the west coast, a long time ago and remember coming down the eastern slope of a mountain range where you could see headlights 40 miles away coming down the west slope of another mountain range. I think the speed limit was 80, but that was before the 1973 oil embargo. 1966 Chevy G10 van.
Went west before that in 1959 and saw Alcatraz when it was still operational 1958 Plymouth Custom Suburban Wagon (no interstates).
I have come down the mountian from blacksburg in my VX at 85 drafting a big rig, for close to 3 miles and almost 3k feet drop, dowshifting to slow down. I know the scenarios.
regards
Mech
