appropriate expressway speed?
What is an appropriate speed to drive on the expressway while towing?
Forum Discussion
I set the cruise at 62-63 MPH. That is the sweet spot for my engine, about 1,450 rpm, where I get the best milage and it is the most comfortable speed. Pretty well matches the truck traffic as well. If I have to speed up to get around a truck or two I will push it up to 70 or 75.
Quite often I will see an RV blow by us at 70 or 75 only to pass them on the next long grade where I am still toddling along at 62.
On long days (which are fewer now) I may see one of them pass me two or three time in a day because they had to stop for fuel and I did not - 300 gallons on board.
