My Caddy CTS with LPG does a trip computer indicated 32 mpg at the legal limit with the old instant mpg thing on on trip computer.
For some reason despite being European spec thats US gallons, so that's roughly 37 mpg imp. and given LPG is half price from Morrisons - equals 74 mpg effectively. Call it 50 mpg, still cock on for a 3.6 ltr auto....
Love this car!

Mash has it right as always: The Daily Mash - Clarkson explodes
Clarkson explodes

It's pointless as most people drive at 80 anyway, and the Police do nothing until at least 85mph.
Raising the limit will probably just lead to more traffic Jams as everyone feel compelled to do at least 80mph and more will think a ton plus is OK.
So that's the economic argument gone. Plus it is likely to lead to more accidents.
Would be better to make it so 70mph is possible more often.

A car going at 80 has 30% more energy stored than a car going at 70.
It is not the moving that is the problem, it is the stopping.
