I’ve been considering installing a speed governor on my '98 Honda Civic. It doesn’t have cruise control, and I’d like to be able to put the hammer down on the highway and not have to check the speedometer constantly in order to stay out of trouble. I’ve done some extensive searches, but I don’t fi…

It doesn’t cut off fuel injection, it controls it, and I’ve driven a U-Haul with a governor. It was kind of nice.

I’ve driven a Uhaul with that, too. But I wouldn’t assume that’s how they all work. Uhaul expects you to drive with the gas on the floor.
