On a tour at the moment and visiting Victoria, where the police have no sense of humour and fine the crap out of you for being 5klm(3mph) over the speed limit. Now being cheap I hate paying fines so have been sticking to the speed limit, mostly 100 kph(62mph).
This enforced restraint has had quite an effect on fuel economy and therefore range. Last 3 tanks got 60-45-62.5 mpg that's uk gallons.the 45 mpg was all tight windy roads with a 100 kph speed limit in an area where strangely you would have to try hard to break the limit. Even got 273 Klm from 12.3 litres, jez I could have made 300 Klm from a tank.
Still can't see this restraint lasting once I'm back home. Funny but all this enforcement is for our safety supposedly. Just doesn't show in the Victorian road toll eh.
