I used to *race up the motorway every day from Northampton to Brum.
It always took me about an *hour or so due to traffic.
One evening on the way home, I was tired and just couldnt be bothered with it all so I stuck the cruise control onto 70 and just pootled along.
The difference in time was about *10 mins or so.
I tried it a few more times and noticed that all the cars screaming past are having to slow down for the next car in front and then booting it away again.
More often than not, the knob jockey that was tail gating me was only 3-4 cars in front of me queing to get into brum further down the road.
Now (in the car) I tend to sit at the speed limit where and when conditions allow and have a more economical and more relaxed drive.
Yes I am getting old and sounding boring but I'm also near doubling my economy over a year and am now less wound up when I get to where I'm going.
I dont drive for fun anyway as I do too many miles in a car to enjoy it.
My car is just a tool for work, the bikes are for fun
*all within the legal limit for licence saving reasons....
