How many think we will see a speed limit change in the near future
Drive 80 if you wantThere won’t be any, but we need to change interstates to 80!
I don’t want to do 80, I want to do 85 without being pulled over like our neighbor states.Drive 80 if you want
South Dakota has no leeway ask me I know many times. 80 means that not any over unlike ND i drive 81 or 82 and never been pulled over.I don’t want to do 80, I want to do 85 without being pulled over like our neighbor states.
One of my hobbies while traveling has been trying to improve MPG. I have concluded that with the car , wind and tire pressure are the 2 main noticeable factors , premium gas and cutting down on speed , not so much. I set the cruise at 5 over the speed limit and wait for someone to pass me like I'm standing still then I giver the onion and and hope they dont turn off.

I don’t drive in SD much but in MT you can drive 85 all day long. Sure makes that giant ass state easier to get through.South Dakota has no leeway ask me I know many times. 80 means that not any over unlike ND i drive 81 or 82 and never been pulled over.
most stock vehicles will shut down at 97 mph.I don't think it matters. Every time I drive on I94, I usually set the cruise between 80 and 85. It always surprises me how many times I am passed at a fast pace. I swear half the people are driving between 90 and 100 MPH. On another note, I've had my truck for almost 8 years. I was passing someone not to long ago and not paying attention to how fast I was going. All the sudden my truck starting bogging down. I looked at the speedometer and I was doing 100. It scared the crap out of me because I thought I blew it up. I guess Ford has determined they don't want you going that fast in their trucks.
Davey Crockett has it right, wind and tire pressure are big factors. Speed is as important as drag increases exponentially. Most trucks with 8 or 10 speed transmissions try to keep the RPMs in a narrow band for efficiency, leave that band and fuel consumption goes up fast. Hard acceleration will also ruin mileage. Speed limit will probably not change anytime soon, large effort to resign-re regulate.
