Why is it so easy going 90 and not knowing

[HCGxKaLiBeR]

lol I felt the opposite.

My Audi S4 felt like 60 when driving 90MPH.
Bronco on the other hand felt a lot faster when going over 90MPH as the wind noise is loud and I could felt the resistance is pushing against me. But yes, it can hit the 100MPH limiter pretty easily when I wanted to.

80, 90 MPH is too fast in the Bronco- too near the limit of 101. Our 2 door Sas accelerates very quickly and yeah sometimes I get carried away and get it up to 80, then slow down to between 65 and 68 MPH- nice safe cruising speed and get the most MPG.

Interestingly, I got 20.65 MPG* going mostly on interstate for 330 miles last weekend. My cruising speed was between 75 - 78 (adaptive cruise control).

*Actual MPG, not the dash board estimate, which in the first thousand miles I have found to be about 1 MPG higher than actual. I have a four door OBX, non-SAS, with a hardtop. I was surprised this actually gets slightly better MPG than my 2012 Lexus LS460.

The wind noise at 65 isn’t much different than 90.

That's pretty good. Our 2 door 2.7 Basesquatch nets 22.6 average. Darn good, surprised us on the recent trip to Ga. Includes driving on hilly roads, 4 wheeling and interstate driving.
