Royale except on a downhill run when coasting). But, any guy that would like
about that would also lie about other things and still be a nice guy.

I actually did get 10 on two occasions. Once going across Illinois at 55mph before they upped the speed limit from 55mph to 65mph for trucks, motorhomes, and vehicles towing. Another time in Canada where the limit in Km/hr is below 60mph everywhere. 10.5 in Illinois, and 10.3 in Canada. Normally run just over 8.

Wow, I can imagine how active the GMC group was in 1996, when I started driving.... 88 cents per Gallon at AmPm in Sedro- Woolley Wa.
Those were the good old days for me.

Excellent article Larry!
In NS (Canada) the highway speed limit in some places is 100 kph or 62
mph. In most places the speed limit is 110 kph or 68.4 mph. Given the 7
kilometre 'grace' speed before any cop turns his head, that makes it 66.5
mph and 73 mph.
Be careful if you are driving at or below 100 kph you're gonna get
yourself run over !

The only thing that comes up is the banner of the newspaper; no stories. I played around with headings at the bottom of the page and found a link to a story about the GMC but that just went back to the header page.
I give up.

Keith,
I have 6 Mac’s in the house, my MacBook and my MacPro Desk top all take me to the newsletter article. I haven’t gone up to check it on the wife's IPad or her MacMini in her office upstairs and my IPhone 5S worked. My old MacPro G5 out in the shop is not turned on. It usually not the computer but how the browser is set up.

It beats the trouble when talking about the "best tires" or the "best rear
suspension." Soon will be "the best front end."

Wow, this is better than the tire, suspension, or front end arguments.
Go Apple.
