I could probably get 40+mpg but im not sitting at 40mph in 6th gear for a 100miles... takes too long

I much rather do 220 miles in 2hours 15mins on the autobahn at night

Laney · 8th March 2011, 18:11

Good effort

dash looks like it could do with a spring clean though...

Does knowing that you can do whatever speed on there day in day out make it less appealing?? I doubt it would

but just curious

People tend to think "especially people who have never been on an autobahn" they can do any speed they want... which is true. However By the time you reach a speed worth bragging about (i got 159mph on the clock) the first **** hass pulled infront of you or a lorry has decided to start an elephant race.

You can theoretically reach any desired speed you want on derestricted autobahns however you wont stay there very long. I tend to sit between 120-130mph on clear autobahns when fuel isnt a problem. However I very rarely cruise under 90mph.

The other factor 99% of people dont know "even germans" if your insurance company can prove you were doing over 130kmh (80mph ??) they can refuse to payout! Because the reccomended speed limit is 130kmh regardless of wether its derestricted or not they have the right to refuse insurance cover.

But to answer the question, knowing im aloud to drive fast doesnt take away the fun =)

Trim89 · 8th March 2011, 18:23

I didn't know about the insurance either, hope to experience the autobahn in a nice car one day....... while its quiet

onweed · 8th March 2011, 18:26

Oh just to add...

ALL autobahns do have a speed limit, this was forced onto the germans as the french complained.

I very much doubt you will reach the 400kmh speed limit though!

I new a guy once who on a track day at Silverstone was getting 4.8mpg with a FN2

I did think that this may have been a result of the engine running for ages and then a brisk drive - I remember picking my car up from the dealers once and it was around 8mpg over 2 miles. They informed me it was due to the fact it had been sat idling for 30 mins for some reason prior to the "test" drive

Can't believe you let the engine run all night whilst you slept though!

When its that cold outside and you need to sleep your going to need the heating.

Oh I got to 38mpg just by driving normal for over 100 miles still managed Cirencester to Rugby in 1 hr which will mean nothing to you but anyone local will know I wasnt sitting at 40mph to do that.

Ive slept in my car a few times its surprisingly comfy in the civic. Watched a DVD after work and nodded off haha
