Using mine on the Highways

    Hey guys,

    I've been using my mini-truck on the highways more recently.
    It seems to do pretty well really.

    Today I went around 50-60miles going 65mph (GPS speed, which is correct).
    Mine is an 04 hijet and the engine is actually pretty quiet at that speed.
    and it doesn't seem to be drastically affecting my fuel economy to travel at that speed on the highway. I tend to get 27-29mpg normally the way I drive.

    Highway use

    I drive mine to work and back at least 3 times a week at 71 miles round trip 65 mph runs good. I get a lot of looks.

    Good to hear I'm not the only one going that fast consistently. And hey, I didn't now they had them road legal there in Florida.
    Yeah, I kinda wish I didn't get as much attention though.

    :) Correction to my previous post, I just filled up and I got 24mpg going 65mph on the highway. So yeah, going that fast (which the speedometer is reading 115-120kmh when I'm really going 65mph by gps (strange because this is a stock truck that is fairly new with stock wheels/tires)) really kills fuel economy, so I think I'll keep it at 55mph from now on.
