I have driven cars that get better mileage at 65 than they do at 55. Had a Ford Courier in 1980 that had a 2.3 4cyl and a 4 speed. At 65-70 mph it got 33 mpg, and 55 it got about 17mpg, brother had a 79 Mustang same engine, same result, he got 35 and 25. My P.S. gets the same milage at 55 and at 70.

Back in the 70's you could store gas for at least 6 months, now if it is good for 30 days, it is a miracle.
