I heard you get better fuel economy at 75mph because yer engine doesn't run as long getting to the destination. We upgraded with air bags and toilet paper oil filter so we go, like, 60? in CA most of the time, eh?
What we like about Utah! is hardly anyone is speeding on the I15.
You heard wrong on that fuel consumption at 75. Your engine may not run as long, but it will suck more gas, at least for any motorhome. Each different type of vehicle will have an optimum speed that gets it the best MPG. Motorhomes will suck a lot more fuel at 75 versus 55. A corvette on the other hand may have an optimal MPG speed in the 75 or higher range.
