Another way to look at it:
Avg MPG @ 70MPH = 7.8
Avg MPG @ 65MPH = 9.8
2000 mile trip at 70MPH = 256 gallons @ 3.79 = $970
2000 mile trip at 65MPH = 204 gallons @ 3.79 = $773
Total increase in "behind the wheel time" at the slower pace: 2.2 hours
That's $197 savings. Enough for an extra night (or two) at a good campground and dinner out at a nice restaurant both nights....
OR: one Maxxis 8008 installed and balanced plus some left over for BK or McD's......
