What is your average speed
On an average drive out in your model A - at what speed do you find yourself cruising along at ?

Re: What is your average speed
I don't know, my speedometer stops or hangs up at 20mph for some reason and never shows any speed higher than that?
But I know for a fact that I'm not breaking any land speed records that's for sure and getting my speedo fixed is another one of those 'Roundtoit' things on my list. george |

Re: What is your average speed
Between 40 and 50 but once in El Paso rush hour traffic I saw the big six showing and slowed down in a hurry.

Re: What is your average speed
40-45, like most of the others. Now and then 52 on a straight and level road.

Re: What is your average speed
On the highway, we like to cruise at 50 mph.

Re: What is your average speed
40-45. I've been on a couple of tours where the leaders were driving like they're ass was on fire. Showing off, or whatever. There is no just reason to invite your engine internals to look for daylight.

Re: What is your average speed
It'll go 60, but I feel like it is screaming. It's a stock car.
It seems to be happy about 45-50 according to my GPS. My rebuilt speedo seems to always be about 10mph off.

75-80. When I get my MPH speedo fixed and take out the KPH version it will be back down to 45+.

Re: What is your average speed
Great Lakes Greg ; That was funny . That is my second good laugh today from F B.
Most of the folks in our club have stock model "A" and like 40 to 45 max . Then you have about 15% with O D ( me included) and they like 50 to 55 . So when you go on a club tour the folks with O D normally end up running out of O D. Makes you wonder why you have an over drive. |

Re: What is your average speed
Around town usually about 25, in the country about 35 to 40 and rarely over that ! I am not in a hurry to get where I am going in the old girl. Drive it to enjoy it and not like you are in a race !
