Sounds good.

Not that you asked, but I set speed to the conditions (and of course
speed limits ;)

head wind
cross wind
traffic etc.

Recently I felt able to push Jaco. Wind was non existent, so cruised
at 70-75 mph for a while. Even though I floated along, revs seemed
higher than need be. And I bet fuel consumption went way up.

On I5, I tend to keep pace with the semis. Between 60-65 mph. This is
with a WBX tranny, 195/75R 14" tires and Jetta engine.
