HCH II speed

Re: HCH II speed
Backed off @ 83 mph, lol.
Thankfully I am getting the knack of the "Pulse & Glide" & reasoning to know just when to tapp, and/or let off the foot feed to maintain constanst revolutions per minute, and/or miles per hour decending/accending the 70 mile haul to work ( seems to be one steady freefall north to the MLPS/St. Paul metro. untill quitting time, then it is the basic uphill trama, lol ).
As it is, capped things off at 83 mph one day with-in the first couple weeks out of frusration of not understanding the difference in driving ( not knowing for that matter ) techiques considering the difference in terrain of the comings & goings to work. Taching the rubberbands out at the redline as fast as I did was enough say "Whoa"!!!! Easy to say though, that given time and a steady pace the "HCH II" could cruise without harm pushing 90-95 +.
The tech @ the dealer say 109 mph is topps.

This from the online owner's manual. I don't trust too many "techs" out there

I've only gone about 76 in my HCH. Don't feel the need. I had an '01 Nissan Sentra when I lived in Germany for 3.5 years, though, and I got that to 126. Not that it is really relevent, just that it's odd for me that I've peaked at 76 in my HCH, but I used to set the cruise at 90 just 6 months ago.
