What kind of mileage do you get at driving over 75 mph? I know they will do that speed easily and even then the engine is just playing! The coach itself does not like that speed and the DW does not either!! If you drive 60 to 63 the engine is at its sweet point in my estimation and could go forever at that speed. Fuel mileage best at that speed. I drove one area constantly exceeding 73 mph until I needed gas again and found my mileage below 6.5 mpg! Higher speeds above that would do even worse. I try and think vacation and enjoying the road. Let the 18 wheelers go as they are working and have to drive as fast as possible to cover the miles. We are just enjoying the ride! I know it is a nuisance with the 18 wheelers constantly going by but you get used to it. Too bad the railroads can't haul all the freight again. Don't grumble at me for saying that but a constant train of 18 wheelers is awfull and the poor roads show the wear and states can't keep up the surface fast enough for us to have smooth roads now. The roads are awfull in the north east. Even the toll roads are rough! They at least used to be smooth! Not any more and that despite tolls being obscene for a little coach like the Vegas!
