Thanks fellas, I thought it was just me, I usually set the cruise control to 105 and sit back and enjoy, I have been known to get up to 130 by pure accident but Jeeps are like that, hence the cruise control.
cheers

We sit on 100 (according to GPS, not speedo). Have found it more relaxing to get into the left lane rather than fight for positions on the right. I find 100 is not too slow in terms of traffic flow, and [SO FAR] other drivers dont seem to get frustrated, yet still stay. My theory is that at that speed they are less likely to speed up, overtake then slow down in front of you because you are sitting at a regular 100km.
Doesn't always work...

90-100 for me, more for fuel saving than anything. Did run at 105 but only on the Hume to keep traffic flowing.
Have just put a new exhaust on the tug so hopefully that will help with that as well.

Posted speed limit for me,though I may try and wind it up down hill just to try and keep a little bit of speed up up the next hill.

I try and keep to the speed limit generally, except those occasions when I look down at the speedo to find that I'm a little over!! But then my tug is a Jeep!!!!

Heavy Transport speed limited to 100 but most will do 103 on the flat so it's 103 to 105 keeps you out of harms way . Driving to conditions always.
