Around here, state patrol is always out in force. No way I could get away with going 80 lol
So, I commute 7 miles from home to the freeway, this is typical back road, 35-40 mph stuff, no lights.
I then do 19 miles of freeway, in a 70mph zone. I do 70-72mph.
I then have 12 miles of freeway that is 60mph. I go 60-65
I then have 12 miles of 55mph divided highway with lights. I probably have to stop at 2-3 red lights.
I then have about 15 miles of 50mph back highway that is usually 45-55 depending on traffic.
The one trip I managed to do in the truck that was all freeway, all 65mph I hit almost 20mpg. But I think it was a fluke. Based on the higher speeds of the highways I will be on, and the fact I am sight seeing I think 17mph is pretty reasonable.
The truck is well maintained and recently tuned up.
