Your speed on the Highway
How fast or slow do you drive on the Highway normally?
Do you tend to use cruise control?
I am asking because I believe that my fuel economy really starts dropping after 60mph. It might be enlightening to see how fast or slow other hybrid owners tend to drive.
I tend to go between 55 and 60 miles per hour using CC.
No wrong answers here - please dont start flaming each other.....

Re: Your speed on the Highway
I tend to center about 65 miles per hour. Making up a survey is not trivial but I'd have probably used divisions like:
52-
53-57 - centers at 55
58-62 - centers at 60
63-67 - centers at 65
68-72 - centers at 70
73-77 - centers at 75
78-82 - centers at 80
83+
Still I applaud your survey and look forward to the results.

Re: Your speed on the Highway
sparty: no cruise control in my insight. not available from honda, although rostra makes one to fit. i use the driving with load technique, so my speed varies quite a bit. i stay in the right lane, so others can just deal with it. so far no problems in 2 years of commuting (knocks on head).
