Used to have a Saab turbo 16V - that would do almost all motorway work
in fifth, up hill and down dale, without any noticeable slowing down. CC
really highlighted how other vehicles changed speed a lot. I guess some
of that was drivers not using/having CC, and some simply car engines not
able to make it up hills so apparently effortlessly.


If it will climb any hill in top gear, the gearing's too low for best MPG.
