What is your average freeway/highway speed?
Was just curious, what is the Average Highway,/freeway speed Most of you drive, and if that is from a gas or diesel coach?

I spend more time behind the wheel of an oversized vehicle than my truck. I find it safer to do the posted speed limit and sometimes up to 3 over to blend in with traffic. Too many rude, impatient people determined to get in front of a larger slower vehicle, often its far from safe. My goal is to arrive safe regardless if its a coach, school bus, or our motorhome. Purposely doing 10 to 15 mph slower than the posted speed limit is creating a situation where some will do something stupid that endangers my life and the precious ones behind me. NOT going to happen on my watch if I can help it!!!
So yes I use all the horses in our V10 (as I do with the buses) and am often flowing with freeway traffic at 72 in a 70 zone.
Am I in a hurry? Not so much as avoiding the potential dangers of frustrated idiots who get around the slow moving vehicle and jam on their brakes to point out their frustration. Don't understand it but have experienced it and choose to avoid it. It doesn't happen when I'm doing the speed limit or a tad over.
