Best fuel economy speed
What speed are you folks seeing your best mileage ? When I was towing it was not always the low end of the range.

- Towing a toad for me is 1 mpg
- Bet economy around 62 mph. But I drive whatever is comfortable. As said the difference between 7.5 MPG and 7 MPG ain't enough to sweat over.
- I usually run 64-70 and get 7mpg. I did 100 mile test at 45 mph on a rural WY road. Instead of seven I got 10 MPG but I did not want to take another day to get home.
- I drive the speed limit or just slightly above. The difference of a 1/2 mile per gallon or so is not worth my time or effort to slow down. My favorite follow up to a post like this is....YMMV.
I want to get where I am going. For some it is the journey and for some it is the destination. For me, it's the destination. I would rather be there! I very often travel at 70 or so and the difference between that and 55 is less than 1 MPG.
