Anyone find themselves goin a certain speed?

Tastycakes · 07-12-2007, 11:06 PM

I dunno if i'm weird but when i got my civic i found myself goin 47 and 63 MPH all the time w/o noticing it. I dunno, kinda weird, anyone else find themselves going the same random speed all the time ?

***Izzy*** · 07-12-2007, 11:08 PM

80mph. It's absurdly easy to hit on my car for some reason, even on top gear. Ah well, flow of traffic is always about that fast anyway.

Depending on the road: 48 or 62. I do a lot of highway, so 62 or 72 on the interstate.

On the interstates here, people can range from 65 to 85. I usually fall right in the middle at 72-ish (more people drive slow than fast).

On the non-interstate highways (with the exceptions of ones which go through farmland), the speed limit is lower. People go about 50-70 there. Again, I fall about the middle/high speed at 62-ish.

There are a lot of old people around me -- they all drive so slow. People near Ann Arbor (city near here) drive faster, though, so I usually go faster (75 or 80) there.

It sucks, but it's great for fuel economy!

Besides, I get more fun out of the twisties than driving the speed of light.

When i drive, its pretty simple, i pass cars, i dont' get passed.

nese005 · 07-13-2007, 01:01 PM

i always see myself at 70mph

eds222 · 07-13-2007, 01:20 PM

50mph in 45mph zone in 4th gear. Its like the car is driving itself.

Skylinegtr06 · 07-13-2007, 01:25 PM

I keep going like 45 in my residential neighborhood, I don't even notice. Whats the speed limit in a residential like 35 right?

***Janizary*** · 07-13-2007, 01:25 PM

39, 50, 62. sweets spots for MPG in certain gears.

That explains my habit of riding at 38 in 35 zones; not a bit over or under. And my car's preference for 62 on the slower highways.

Slowroll90 · 07-13-2007, 02:04 PM

i find 59 and 74 are easy to hold

Jardiniboy · 07-13-2007, 03:26 PM

60-65mph

onebadsi · 07-13-2007, 10:08 PM

RAI · 07-13-2007, 10:16 PM
