How fast do you go

63 is where I get my best mileage.

65-70 is where I usually run. Tires rated for 80+.

It all depends on how I feel, what the traffic is like etc...

Providing the conditions allow I will travel with the flow of traffic, I do not exceed 70 unless passing I may creep up to 75.
I always maintain lots of distance between my rig and the vehicle in front of me.

Don't like to drive anything in that type situation, so we avoid having to run that fast. If its there today, it will probably still be there tomorrow, except for Yellowstone NP, which is a bit iffy. Back in the days when we drove some big overpowered boats, I have seen over 120 several times under good conditions. That was in my young and stupid days.

I prefer to refer to those as my "formative years)

Cheers!

Assuming conditions allow for it, if the speed limit is 70 I go 70. Our freeways are 80 in southwest Idaho and I don't tend to tow over about 75, though. I do think towing 20 mph below the speed limit, which realistically gives you about a 25 mph speed differential with most traffic, is more dangerous than towing a little faster. Unless your setup is marginal, I suppose.

TT tires are rated to 81 but I drive 55-60.

When Towing on a highway where the speed limit is 70 MPH, how fast do you go?

According to my cruise control a half a mile per hour faster than the idiot in front of me.

Whatever the speed limit is, is as fast as I TOW

What exactly does sweet spot at 68 mean?

62.5, I don't believe going faster can be safer and result in better fuel mileage.

I tried doing 60 - 65 but found my fuel mileage no different at 70.
