My '62 used to drive great at 70-75, then a VW trained mechanic told me the reduction boxes aren't engineered for much more than 60. He told me I'd go through some transaxles and money, so I weened myself to mostly 60 with a little up to 65. If someone tells me something will cost me money I don't want to spend, that's the best way to change one of my habbits.
