Around here it is mostly 2 lane roads and at best I can go 35mph in a 55 zone The coal trucks set the speed everyone gets to drive and if you pass them you can drive good for like 2 minutes before getting behind another one. I wish they would enforce the driving slow rules here. Going 10mph up every hill and stopping at all the tight spots on the road so the trucks can pass each other sucks.

btw they doubled the weight limit on trucks around here so now they are way heavier and slower than even a normal semi everyone else is used to.

When I am not behind a truck or on the 4 lane I usually race everyone off the stop lights and go above the speed limit so I am in the mods are more fun than hypermiling group. I figure a best tank of 70mpg isn't bad considering how much full throttle acceleration and heavy braking I do.
