Quite unrealistic to actually drive like that on most highways, I just drove like that during my trip through Canada when I was going from california to alaska.
I could have gone much faster than the 37 mph speed limit (I believe it was 60 kph) because there was only about 1 cop every 500 miles.
The main reason I stayed 35 was to maximize my gas mileage because it was around $3 per liter at the time. (which is something like $11 per gallon.)
WTF?
Unless you REALLY clearify yourself on this post I would think you were driving thru the WRONG country to Alaska.....
Where exactly in Canada was gas 3 bucks a litre and you saw a cop every 500 miles?
Nevermind driving thru a country at exactly 37 miles an hour to get optimal fuel mileage.... last time I checked the speed limit on any highway to get thru Canada was 100 kph....around 62 - 65 mph.
