Hi Dark, Yes, in the instructions it says that the speed limit is always 55 unless otherwise stated. And yeah, if you just wish to run at the same speed as the last hour, just press enter. Back when I drove the speed limit on most interstates was 70 for cars and 65 for trucks. Then for

Hi Jim, Quote The price of diesel fuel and tires will vary unpredictably, but diesel fuel will average about $1.00 per gallon. End quote Oh, I wish. I don't think we'll be seeing fuel prices like that again in our life time. Just imagine if you had to write the game using today's fuel prices.
