Default Re: Miles per day touring

My endurance in the Model A on cross countrys is based more on how many hours I have spent in the car versus the miles that I have driven. The Roadster makes the hours tougher than my Town Sedan and the roads that I use have a huge impact on fatigue. Anything past eight hours of driving gets pretty hard on my old body. I would rather keep it at six or seven hours. My wife and I have done twelve hours per day for two days in a row and that almost required bed rest to recover. How many miles result from those hours are a function of roads. I can average 45 on the expressways, but frequently as low as 30 on state highways and back roads, The more I have to shift (stop lights and stop signs), the slower the average. Gar Williams
