Doesn't that create a problem with excessive speed, going downhill? I suppose maybe it wouldn't, depending on conditions.

Probably any other place on earth it would be a problem. This particular stretch has some especially favourable conditions: Zero traffic, gorgeous scenery and a variety of hills and twisty turns. It was a very fun drive, which of course makes it easy to stay focused on the road. Speeds probably ranged from 140kph in the valleys, and 90kph at the crest of the hill. 44.7MPG on that stretch in my 2005 Hyundai Elantra.
