    What's your comfort cruising speed?

    I know it is terrain, weather, traffic and other infuriating restrictions.....but when you finally find that open highway and you are ready to cruise, what speed is your preferred speed?

    When I get away from town and it is open road I find me liking the 77-82 MPH range. I have gone faster and slower, but it seems that speed range is where I always seem to find myself setting the speed control.

    How about you?

    On boring straight stretches, around 10 over works for me .

    10 over on almost every interstate is what all seem to drive. 80 seems the best for me.

    I am the third fastest vehicle I can see.
    Sometimes the second...if I've had my "danger vitamins" that morning.

    I never ride faster than my angel can fly and it seems to be around 80 or 10 over on restricted freeways, but 1 under in town as we have a lot of speed traps around here.

    About 70 is the most pleasant, but long stretches at 80-90 are no problem.
