Not me, 62 is it. Same when I was not speed limited. Can't stand pour diesel down the drain.
They can make it 80 if they wanted to 63 is my limit most times

My Garmin seemed to use about a 70 mph average between Dayton and Toledo. Maybe 68. But I'll still top out about 72-73 I think. I tried 65 but I just can't stay that low. My mpg is up about 17.5 at 72-73 on the cruise. I can live with that for now.
Nice comeback LOL only because you said it First
If I remember correctly garmins learn your driving style two people with different habits can start and end at the same place and show a different eta. I might have dreamed that but seems I read it somewhere.

Cool. Didn't know that!! Makes sense as to why, when heading to TX, I "gain" a little more time on the ETA. Also explains why I gain less on it than I used to.

I wasn't meaning the avg mph a Garmin uses when calculating distance to destination, but the Speed Limit it posts on-screen when going through posted areas. My Garmin shows both speed I'm traveling as well as what the posted speed limit is wherever I am.
I'm always impressed that it changes within feet, it seems (probably a tenth of a mile on the highway), whenever the speed limit signs change, whether on the Interstate or going through town. Has to be connected to GPS coordinates that are submitted by DOT, that are then part of the updates we do as users, then relayed by our own positions via GPS satellites.
Just another one of the mind-wandering questions that I ponder when driving.

Oh ya, both of mine do that. Good stuff.
No, you didn't dream it, it's true. ETA's are based on the historical speed and times of the driver.
The newer Garmins, as is noted above, also have the speed limit showing right there on the screen (some all the time, others only when you exceed the posted speed limit by 1 MPH or more). Some Garmins get their speed limit data from map updates, and some get them from the traffic radio signal.
whatamean now?
