Then I must be the odd one out here.130kmh (approx 81mph) is fairly normal
over here. If I'm desperately needing to make up lost time, I would go to
180kmh (112.5mph) provided the conditions allow but that's not often.
With the high gasoline prices of late, I resorted to keeping my revs as much
as possible below 3,000RPM, which translates to about 110kmh (69mph) for
highway driving. Around town, keeping the revs to no more than 2,500RPM even
for gear change points (auto trans is fuzzy logic) helps me to achieve
around 610km on a single full tank of gas (75 litres).
