True, I ran between Huntsville, AL and Nashville TN one a week and I slowed down to 40 MPH climbing one particular hill. I used to get on the interstate, push the pedal to the floor and let off at the other end. Most of the time I drifted between 80 and 85 except for those darn hills.....
Oddly enough, I would go no faster than 80 - 85 down hill which made no since until I studied how the fuel injection system worked. The engine is governed to a top speed of 5500 RPM.
