Re: Average speed
Depends. Average, as Katy pointed out, is always less than what you drive at. If I am on Interstate 40 I will drive at pretty much the speed limit, which varies from 65 to 55 here in my area. I have the Mitchell overdrive and an engine with good torque and power. I get passed a lot as most people drive between 70 and 80. The 4 lane highways are good for driving slower than the traffic as people can pass you easily. On highways with a speed limit of 70 mph, I will drive at 65.
When driving on the back roads, which I prefer, I will go between 45 and 55. If I get a line of traffic behind me or some bumper jumper I will pull over in a turnout.
