Driving 55 m.p.h. is looking pretty good. speed limits on most secondary roads and highways here in Ontario is 80 kph which is somewhere around 50+ mph i believe. i drive that or a couple or so klicks above that most of the time. course, i'm never in much of a hurry to get anywhere, so that's fast enough for me. however, kind of amazing how much more this little van burns when you have to drive faster. noticed that on the way to Nova Scotia when we had to travel at the normal "cruise speed" on the TransCanada -- about 110-120 km.. which probably still isn't fast by comparison with some of the states where i've traveled. the van was still pretty easy on gas, but it was definitely burning through a tank of gas a lot faster than usual. so, will people slow down the higher gas goes? btw, big line-ups at the pumps up here last night. apparently, gas zoomed up to about 1.65 a litre yesterday around Toronto. last time gas climbed, we noticed much less traffic on the roads. i expect that will happen once again. have a few mechanic friends and they said biz is really down lately and people say they aren't driving around as much and don't intend to any more than they have to. ~croc
