There is the german autobahn a short trip away. They have unrestricted

High speed use will get 14-18mpg on many cars.


I was getting around 32mpg at a steady 160kph.


99mph, not that fast and whilst drag is higher it is not that much
higher than 75-80mph.
It is as you pass 140mph that drag takes over, bhp required rockets
and mpg begins to collapse.
