    85 1150E gets 46 mpg at 65 mph. Gas milage increases or decreases about 2 mpg per 5 mph. i.e. 70 mph is about 44 mpg, 75 mph about 42 mpg or 60 mph is about 48 mpg, 55 mph about 50 mpg. At a steady 45 mph, it tops out at around 53 mpg.

          Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.
