Top Speed...Mileage

re Charlie's post "Thanks to everyone for all of the feedback about top speed.

I actually feel the most comfortable driving between 65-70Mph and the LD seems to be the smoothest at that speed"

We drive at 65 w/o the toad (a 3400 lb Wrangler) and 55 while pulling the Jeep. It just feels (as Charlie says "more comfortable".
Having had many high performance sports cars over the years that felt good at triple digit speeds, I can tell you the the 26' LD may be capable of going 85, but not with me at the wheel. Just thinking of all that mass behind you should want to make you ease off. Relax and enjoy. As Mike R says, let the cars and trucks behind you worry about their own driving. When I see some of these big Class A's with toad going 70-75 I can only shake my head.
The added benifit of going 55 with the Jeep is our gas mileage is actually a little better than 65 without the Jeep
