160-180km/h is my usual driving speed on the Autobahn (and that's both what my car and me is able to do). Am completely fine with moving right when faster people come, which happens frequently - as long as there is space on the right/middle lane, and I'm not significantly faster than them if not (which would need me to hit the breaks). Otoh, if people come with lights flashing I might suddenly remember there was a speed limit... ;)

Of course the 'average speed' as reported by my car is around 110km/h

*purrrr*

Yeah if you and your car can handle that kind of speed, then go for it if you don't care for the extra fuel consumption. But I was driving a 1992 Peugeot 205 1.1L so if I pushed it too hard I was afraid to make it explode or something. :P

Yeah, and I found out that my car turns into a gasguzler at 180 kph... all of a sudden this orange light would go on indicating that either I go to a pump or I go to a painfull halt within 30 kilometers...

CodeCat:
Mine got to EF and back (1100-1200 km total) with 90-95 euros, which means about 18-19 km/l, doing 115 km/h average. That's very efficient, so the lower speed really is worth it.
