I live in Ca. I see you do too. If you live around LA you will see semi's crawling up the Grapevine. They just don't have enough HP to climb it at 65 MPH like you want them to.
If you live around Sac you will see the same thing on 80 going to Reno. They just crawl up the hills. Some of those mountains would take around 1,500 HP to go 65 MPH up them at 80K.
Not to enter the fray of this important discussion but the speed limit for towing in California is 55 mph. Maybe that is partly why the 18 wheelers are not going 65 up the hills.
