Ideal Speed In Class A Gas MH

Optimal speed is the speed that traffic is moving. If you can't do that stay home. A large amount of people are on the clock or providing for their families while on the road. If you can't go the speed limit you are taking bread off their table. If you can't do that safely then something needs to change.

I totally disagree with the implications of this post. I am formerly also from "norcal" and have driven all of the highways in CA from LA north - specifically including the Redwoods. I-5 has cars in the left lane running from 70 (the legal limit) to infinity. Trucks on I-5 run 62-63 mph per my running with them. While on I-5 I just run with the faster trucks at 62-63 as the slower trucks are at 55-60. We are NOT keeping anyone from their livelihood!!!!! This is also true on US Hwy 101 headed up to the redwoods on the coast. The two lane sections have a 55 mph limit and traffic rarely goes that fast. I go the speed that is comfortable for me at the time. Generally on 4 lane highways that is with the trucks in the right lane. Sometimes I have felt the need to go faster and have rolled at 70 mph but that is unusual. Once going downhill I found myself doing 80 mph but I do not recommend that!!

The main thing is to NEVER exceed the speed for the conditions that YOU feel comfortable driving.
