50 mph Limit on Motorways

[StockholmO]

willy head is going to be furious.

I meant Jeremy Clarkson who comes across as a right DH.

I read this as willy Handler Driving at 50mph massively reduces petrol consumption.

Please stop stalkiang me on here.

Hope you're all good now fella.

[F*ck The Poor & Fat]

I would guess that 55 mph statistics apply to modernIsh cars. You know those introduced in the times where fuel economy sells rather than the gas guzzlers of years ago when people didn’t give consumption a thought and when petrol was cheap.

So all cars. Perhaps not as I doubt Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes fits that bill. But the vast majority and probably all road cars being sold today. I would guess they all use this measure.

[StillSpike]

So in a few years when we're all in electric cars, I wonder if they'll review the speed limits then?

Where is your evidence? Cars come in so many different weights, shapes, engines, fuels etc. You really think they all have exactly the same most efficient speed? Dumb.

Err mostly yes.

For example, my Porsche returns it's best figures when on a run at a lower speed than 70. The same applies to my Range Rover, my Golf GTI and my M3. All cars with different engine types and all benefit from a light right foot. If you hit the gas it disappears, and you can see from the on board computers that the return on mpg is best at or around 55mph. Trust me I tested it and it's interesting to see how little the speed increase is verses the drop off in mpg.

Look at me!

[Long slender neck]

Still waiting for some evidence

[Thor]

I’ve given it to you.

[Long slender neck]

Anecdotal

I really hope this Thor character is for real.

[Disoriented]

Seems to be a different character from the one on the old board. Could be an alias of an alias.

[CreamofSumYungGai]

It’s got a whiff of Gilso about it.

Definitely my bestest boarder on this place. Even though he wants to duff me up.

[Thor]

Don’t worry cream your down the hit list right now, others have moved up and might incur the wrath of Thor! No one on this board either.
