The Tortoise and the Hare

Recommended Posts

I just drove 4 days in the motorhome from SE Kansas to the Lynchburg VA area. In the MH we generally set the cruise at 62 and just let it go. That keeps me out of the packs and is fairly relaxing. In the truck (the new one we had), it liked to run at 67mph and got reasonable mileage there. Of course it was designed for that. It was pulling 1150 rpm and was within the peak torque area. So it depends on what you have, as Randy said....

Have you ever drunk Ripple wine?  Jack, thanks for returning to topic.....oh....I forgot.  We can't buy Ripple any more.  Someone else bought it all.  Merry Christmas from sunny 80 degree Florida with no snow.
