If we can travel 75 for 10 of those hours that is a hundred miles. We will leave here in western Virginia at 12 or 1 pm and be in Wyoming in under 48 hours. You would take 5 days at 350 miles a day. That is 6 extra days for the trip. You can buy a lot of fuel for that.

I used to go 400 to 450 on days when I pushed it. Getting older (been going for 16 years) and gets harder to travel much over 300 or 350. Since I am retired and have no where to go anyway (LOL) I decided to slow down. Even when young, I would have had a hard time pushing for 12 hours.
