Hear, hear, I have been doing no more than 50 from the summer, it was convient during summer as did not need to change my speed all the time because of limits changing and I did discover that I can get really low consumption, under 5 litres for 100km, which is some pretty nice MPG reading.volvosneverdie wrote: No need.
If petrol goes up much more people will choose to run at 50ish to save money.
If im doing a run, I always try to stick around 55 unless theres someone going even slower.
But then im rather poor.
So during winter there are only few places where one can actually drive 65(well 63 to be precise), so I kept driving like a granny, put even vinyl to back of car telling that max speed is 80kph, so others don't blow their head gaskets so easily when hurrying to their coffins or wherever they have such a rush.
More than 1000 toy money units from average pay here, so can't say I'm rich either, one have to save where one can, if it means spending hour more on road, that is fine by me, also I tend to help others go past me best way I can as because I'm trying to get by with as little consumption as possible, it does not give me right to hold up the traffic, some flexibility helps on road, imo.
However I still think that there should be possibility to go faster by rules. Best would be to ditch all speed limits and introduce model of flow, where your actions as part of traffic are what counts, if you are not blending in, then you get fines, or something like that, should work better.
and theres only just room to pass two cars
) My personal "record" was 225 kph in an Audi 100 V6, as a passenger it was 275 kph in a 944 Turbo.
