On 5000+ miles I averaged over 71.3 MPH according to the Garmin. I had the thing switched on whenever the engine was running, so that includes city stop & go plus interstate time. Very impressive number.
In California, the freeway traffic densities are so high - I don't know how it's even possible to get a speeding ticket. I cruised at 90+ from Del Rey to Palm Desert and didn't even notice that I'd forgotten to switch on the V1.
The RCMP would've had me for lunch in my home town.
Ah, driving in the US - almost as enjoyable as Europe.

Dude! What drugs are you on? Must have been an alternate universe or dimension or something. I think I find courtesy in about 10%-25% of the drivers on the road and I'm trying to be generous.
