No way. Theoretically there is no limit, but IIRC you are in a very bad position when you drive that fast an get involved in a accident. As a consequence almost everyone drives below 180. And those everyones are bound to be on the same lane as you. And when the Germans introduce a speed limit due to works etc. they limit seriously, like 80. > Now here is the hard part: How much extra fuel my car need for the higher > speed? I could not find any information to that. Is there any good page or > statistics for this kind of information? The next question would be: given the amount of time it takes to refuel, at what speed does the extra refuel time cancel out the gain due to the speed? -- Wouter van Ooijen -- ------------------------------------------- Van Ooijen Technische Informatica: www.voti.nl consultancy, development, PICmicro products docent Hogeschool van Utrecht: www.voti.nl/hvu -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
