maintain cruising speed at full throttle.
The realities of driving on a California freeway, with
cruising speeds around 65 mph, differ from the EPA's highway test procedure.
The Speed Lowering system uses the electronic air suspension to reduce aerodynamic drag and fuel consumption at
cruising speeds by lowering the vehicle by.5 inches from normal ride height when the speed reaches 65mph.
We estimate vehicle MPG at steady -
state cruising speeds based on the vehicle's EPA «highway» fuel economy rating.
Air flow over the radiator at
low cruise speed is not enough to carry away the much higher heat generated at that...
The 7 - speed transmission is always in exactly the right gear, and the 4.7 - liter V - 8 is powerful enough for anything from
