It is a requirement of driving to know how fast you are going and it

I have to agree with you here. Under normal circumstances I can keep my
diesel car to a speed limit quite easily, however, I have been driving a
petrol car that I own and another that belongs to our daughter daughter,
for the last 10 days and because they are a little bit more lively, I
find I am breaking the speed limits quite often. Not by more than about
5 MPH though.

Funnily enough. I had exactly the same problem. When I changed from a
petrol S-Max to a diesel S-Max! I found the diesel behaved very
differently...

Funny enough so far this week I have driven a diesel astra, a petrol
corsa, a diesel smart and a petrol smart soft top.


They all sound different but the roadside furniture passes at the same
rate.

You mean that you drive so slowly that even stationary objects overtake
you ?

There's a surprise
