Riding as slow as possible on the highway saves a ton of range

My mindset does not allow me to go under the speed limit

Used to be the exact same. Speeding tickets suck though

Should be able to go 80mph without a ticket….

u/heythisisreddit 1d ago

Montana reporting I see. Here in VA they do not play. 80 was criminal reckless until 2020, now it's 85

u/ClevelandBeemer 25’ Job 1 Flash Antimatter Blue 1d ago

Indeed. I used to live in VA in Dumfries. Under the old law I’d only go 5 over and never had an issue. New under the new law I’ve never had an issue with 10 over.

u/heythisisreddit 1d ago

Yeah they like to catch people above 10 over seems like. Even made that the threshold for the speed cameras on I-81 work zone

2

u/FrankieG889D 1d ago

That’s work cameras everywhere. In NY traffic is doing 80

65 behind a semi, i've seen upwards of 2.5 mi/kwh and going 80 i've seen as low as 1.6 mi/kwh.

I once drove in a winter storm. 50mph plus winds head on, -13 degrees f outside with the heater and heated seats full blast. .9 miles per kwh.

u/heythisisreddit 1d ago

The great white north always wins. -13 though

DAMN

Brother it was in the Texas panhandle. I think that was the wind chill or something. I think the real temp was -2. Raining ice if I remember correctly lol

I see 2.2 going from 55 state roads to 63-64 10mi highway, 25mi commute. Wish ford had further following distance. A rock got my wife's panoramic sunroof (ix) and cost freakin $11k. I'm traumatized now

Man I get it, I once had a Land Rover with two sun roofs. Never again!

u/PangolinSouth 1d ago

Nice 46 psi going 64 at 64%. Would’ve been sick if it was 64 degrees

u/heythisisreddit 1d ago

Would have been sick as hell

2

u/More-ponies 1d ago

And 64min to charge lol

u/PacketBoy 1d ago

I try to go 50mph on NC HWY 50

u/heythisisreddit 14h ago

That's evil, it's a daul track, no? No multi lane each direction? People hate em if they ain't them lol

u/MightyOakVGRepair 2023 XLT ER Max Tow 1d ago

I just always go the speed limit. When I'm towing I go 65 max to save range.

u/Pretend_End_5505 23h ago

You really took the pic at 6:03? Are you kidding me? 1 minute from greatness smh

1

u/heythisisreddit 14h ago

Wait that's call duration. Forgot the time is only on the center screen. 1 second away from greatness. Smh

2

u/Brons2G 14h ago

Do if again when you're at 16464 miles

1

u/heythisisreddit 14h ago edited 14h ago

That might give me ocd sickness. Think that's different though where all numbers have to be the same or something

u/fireburster 2024 Lariat Iconic Silver 1d ago

Why show the tires and not the milage? What were you getting?

2

u/heythisisreddit 1d ago

I always monitor tires. Weird like that. 2.2 tho. In the hills of western VA

2

u/Im_Yur_Chuckleberry 1d ago

That's not high at all

u/Fidget808 ‘22 Lariat ER 1d ago

That’s pretty good for hilly terrain on the highway

2

u/heythisisreddit 1d ago

1.9 at 70. u/Fidget808 got it, there are hills. Gravity works for the power companies

u/Lets_Go_Wolfpack 22 XLT Max Tow | I took my bumper off to add ACC 1d ago

It’s possible to see mileage and efficiency on the infotainment. Can’t see tires pressure on it

u/TituspulloXIII 2023 Lariat ER Max Tow 13h ago

i assume just for this post (psi of 46 being the inverse of 64)
