In my youth, I had a bit of a lead foot. But, now that I have gotten a ticket and 
more aware how much fuel is wasted with it, stick below 80M.P.H. (75M.P.H.
limit in the desert). I know it is a limit, as Vater used to drive 45M.P.H. in the
65M.P.H. sections! :O The Volvo prefers 60M.P.H. and the Mercedes 65 to 70
M.P.H..

Good to know!

I remember it being miles and miles of nothing, but do recall traffic on it. 
However, think you are misunderstanding. It is about comparison. I know 
anytime I break down it will not be a cake walk like in the city. Just comparing
amounts, just like the mountains. If I remember right, Denver sits in a bowl.
That mean a climb up to Colorado Springs, then down to Denver, climb back 
out to Limon and back down, right?


Thank you so very much!
