88pathoffroad Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 How fast do you normally drive your Pathy on a freeway or interstate highway? With 33's I usually tool around at 65+ or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey.T Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 The 95 cruises real nice at 70-75 where legal.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 i voted 70-75 also as that's probably my average. in town i go that or well below and sometimes i do the (eek) part on an empty stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 i draft trucks to save gas. i'll follow them as low as 55mph if i'm really feeling like a german-miser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 usually 115-120km/h I try to keep it under 110, but everytime I look down its creeping up to 120 again. unless its during rush hour... then a I do nice 40km/h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 With the local speed limit being 75mph I stick anywhere from 75-80mph. Although I've had it creep up to 95mph on me when I wasn't paying attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88blk4x4 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 well, I'm a volunteer fire fighter and first responder, so I have had mine up to 100+ a few times b4 the tranny went Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 65-70, but I don't even get on the freeway to and from work and my speedo hasn't worked properly for about a year now. I just drive... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NismoSkyZ Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) I usually travel about 80, but on long streatches with very little traffic I go 95+ I have found that my lady tops out at 118.

SC88Pathy Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I generally cruise at 70 or 75 although the pathy has no problems cruising at 80 if the traffic allows. Fastest I'v gone in the pathy was 85 or 90 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemike Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 i drive my car about 140-150(km/h) in the summer on the highway. dunno what speed im going to drive my pathy tomorrow for my 3 hour road trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 100 to 110 kph here, depending on the speed limits. It really starts to suck the gas back at over 100 and any extra speed does not result in any significant time savings, so I try to keep it at the posted limits.

89_trailboss Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 id like to say 55. but seems I always want to go 65-which always sux the gas back quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vsicks Pathy Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Your options stop short 88. Some of us have Pathies capable of much quicker speeds than your poll allows. 180 kph (120ish mph) is the max my dial shows and I have been past that once or twice. OK OK, more than twice but I am not counting Did get a little hairy too just between us. As for normal driving speed on a hwy or freeway... 110 to 135 kph (70 to 80+ mph). As I said to sw when he questioned my lead foot.... At my age, time is very very relevant. I have not got as much of it as the younger guys so I have to get where I am going just a little bit quicker. He laughed but did concede it was a valid point. sssh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dank Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 The speed limit here is 75 and when you're traveling the speed limit, people still zoom by you so I tend to go about 5-10 mph over at around 80-85mph. The other day found myself going 95 and not realizing. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdpathy Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 55 to 60 usually and my speedometer doesnt have markings on it past one hundred. does that mean that one hundred is tops. Oh and also do these pathfinders have a governor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and also do these pathfinders have a governor. no governor.. and no, just because the speedo stops at 100mph. doesn't mean you can't go faster sly i should know, my S-10 stopped at 110... i was clocked at 130 (had ex in his iroc behind me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mws Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I'd have to say the "aerodynamic profile" of the pathy serves as a governor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
