I like to get on the gas, more so when there are a group of cars.
If I'm the only car at a good pace and I'm passing everyone, sometimes I get paranoid of the police.

In light traffic I jam on it. In medium-heavy traffic I'm very conservative - I'm afraid of chips so I maintain a safe distance from the cars ahead. Not too afraid of cops with my V1, but always have an eye out -

Well... I live near Lisbon but I own an apartment in Algarve, south of Portugal, and I drive quite often to there. I take the the motorway A2 and my average speed is 140 / 150 kms/hour. However, sometimes I like to push it harder and the pointer gets near 200 kms, but only for seconds, because my wife doesn't allow me to drive that fast. Anyway, when I drive in motorways I usualy change from automatic to manual, mainly because in manual I'm sure I'm driving on 6th and saving gas. On automatic we never know...

I set the speed limiter to 80 or use the ACC because it's so easy to be a speed demon w/o noticing it.
I guess being a "speed demon" in the U.S. is lot different than in Europe.
