75 mph on the autobahn?
We regularly do 90+ mph here in gigantic vehicles with a driving
population that is let loose on the streets with zero instruction on
what the vehicle is doing when you transfer weight while braking and
accelerating, counter-steering, or any of the many other things that
should be taught for safety.
Environmental reasons.......
I assume that a car is putting out more emissions at 110 mph than it is
at 75 mph, but then, it is for a shorter time to any given destination.
I wonder what the percentage difference is with a typical car.
