In Micigan the speed limit for vehicles weighing over 8 tons is 60 mph on the Interstates. I love it! Nice, slow pace, stay in the right lane, enjoy the scenery, and let all those drivers who "think their time is more important than mine" drive in the left lane as fast as they want. Also, because my camper "looks" like a commercial vehicle, I don't even get any stares or middle fingers as I travel the road. Best fuel milegage too, currently at 11.8.

If I get where I am going today, that's great; if I get there tomorrow, that's great too! Driving is the most fun of all in owning one of these class 8 rigs; why shorten the enjoyment by driving fast?

I like driving 60; its a good idea for just about any reason you can name.
