Many, many pickups passed me like I was standing still on my drive home from Montana yesterday. I do 5 MPH over the limit, but they were doing more like 15-20 over. No sympathy for the full size, lifted pickup with mudders doing 85 MPH.

I talked once with a friend who's a pickup lover. That time he told me he was running out of fuel on the road so he drove as fast as he could so he could make it to the gasoline station before he ran out.
This goes to show that a lot of people don't understand vehicle dynamics. I told my friend that going 90mph down the road actually used more fuel per mile than just going the speerd limit.
