S500 and 550+ HP GTO
On my daily driving around Houston I average about 20 mpg, but that includes lots of stop and go traffic and cruising at 70 to 80 or more. This car is super sensitive I've found to laying on the throttle heavily. My MPG plummets worse than my GTO (and I'm pushing over 550 horsepower there). I suspect on the highway if I just cruise with control on I can average about 24 at 80 mph. Not bad in my mind.

Getting a ticket was.. Don't blame the car, blame the guy connected to the led foot! It's hard to bridle these cars down but you have to have a little discipline
cops don't give a crap how fast these cars can go..
On a lighter note.. At least you were actually speeding...
My last ticket was some bullS&*t 40 in a 30.
The one before that was 65 in a 55 construction zone on the interstate in Ohio!!
HEy I just drove 1100 miles @ 75mph just to get pulled over for going 65?" I told the rookie cop he laughed and apologized as he ripped the ticked out of he book and handed it to me.. A-Hole!!!...
Be careful out there!!!

hehe
yea it was awsome I made it from NY to montreal and had gas left
Traffic was moving at 80 ish, I was just driving at 2.5k to 3k rpm lol and next thing I see is triple digits.
P.S right after the border I hit 131 on a straight road to test the limits of my car, It was amazing.
LOL I feel you, when you mention at least you were speeding haha.
I still feel my thing is unjustfied, In my eyes speeding is Swerving and causing a hazrd. Not driving in your lane peacefully.
I have a topic in Off-Topic about this
