rh71 is on a distinguished road
today on the LIE, I had an hour to get somewhere that only takes 30 mins to pick someone up. I set the cruise to 65mph and it was the dullest drive of my life in this thing. It was really weird driving in the right lane and having everybody in all kinds of vehicles pass even in the middle lane. I don't know how the speed limit is actually 55mph when even right lane drivers go 65. I only noticed that it improved my avg mpg by .1. It went from 15.7 to 15.8 but it was only a 30 min trip.

Oh, one more thing, it took 35 mins instead of the usual 25-30mins. Goes to show you driving aggressively is just for fun, not to save much time.
