I followed a Civic(1.8 as there was no cdti on the back?) along an A road when we caught up with a car doing probably 50-60 mph.The Civic went for it,presumably flat out,and I followed,half expecting to take him as well.Thing is,I did'nt make a yard on him and there was certainly no more to come from my type S diesel.Was a little surprised really.
