I m always a bit puzzled by the velocity some people drive. I suppose for lots of folk going at a fast speed produces a bit of a thrill. For others, they are just running behind and need to make up some time. Three or four times a week I make the 24 mile trek on the number 3 highway between Melfort and Tisdale. I dropped it down to between 98 and 100.
Gas mileage improves a lot when driving the speed limit.
I use cruise control to set my speed. Even at 107 I was surprised at the number of people who would pass me. It seemed that I never overtook anyone, other than someone in an old beat up pick-up driving at 80. Now that I drive 100 I m passed all the time. Many s the time I will be putzing along, when out of the blue someone will go flying by, only to be met by me at the stop sign at the Damar intersection in Melfort.
