My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
...km/h about 87 mph.
Was today once again on a business trip to Tampere.
That is a about 380 km freeway drive <->.
140 km/h is a safe and effective speed and it makes good milage.
The only problem is that one could go into a narcosis, so I had to
take a cellcam pic...
Sorry about the provocative heading ;-)

I agree Ric, I don't think my car is ever happier than when it's crusing at 90 mph or so. Just seems to be the perfect speed, fast enough, no stress on the the engine, no drama. Just the way it should be!
