Too slow is just not right, I'm already in the way of most traffic just because of the size and too slow is trouble. 60 mph is comfortable & usually not too slow.
Then you see a sign like this....
Wow, even thinking about taking this pig up to the speed limit is nuts! Would this box on wheels be stable at those speeds? Could I live with actually watching the gas gauge move as I drove?
I'm not planning on finding the answers to those two question...
The co-pilot didn't really care.
I was using the GPS to navigate & for the most part toll roads are not the end of the world so I have not checked the block to avoid them.
Later, after a number of picture taking toll crossings I came across this sign...
Then I remembered all the stories I'd heard about Texas building the roads, then selling them to a foreign company to run, for profit. (Follow The Money)
How healthy a profit we'll find out when our mail catches up with us next week. Maybe not checking the block on the GPS was a big mistake?
I don't drive very fast. My F250 gets about 12 miles per gallon on the road, so I get in the right lane and if people want to drive fast I figure they can go around me.
ReplyDeleteThat works for me too as long as there is a left lane to go by me.
DeleteThanks for the comment!
I have never checked the fuel mileage in my latest RV. I usually fill it up after each day's drive but I am sure it would go further since it does hold a hundred gallons of fuel.
ReplyDeleteI'm one of those people who 'has to know' how far I can go on the fuel I have left. I think I was that way even before the flying around in Coast Guard airplane days..
DeleteThanks for writing!
My traveling life centers around the 66 cents per mile budget ....
