Once you factor in tire and speed restrictions, I figure that driving at a speed you feel most comfortable is the primary consideration.

I tend to do 55 when I have the trailer behind me because when I'm traveling with my house, I'm really not in any hurry and I like the better mileage and increased safety margin.

Or the optics involved when you are out-driving your headlights.Ned said:We have some highways in TX with 80mph speed limits. 85mph on a stretch of TX 130, a state highway. It's insane in my opinion. People just don't have any understanding of the physics involved.
