On a recent trip I had a 1.5km stretch of 130km/h road and I felt pressure from the other 3 people in the car to actually go there. With 4 people and heavy hiking packs it took a while to accelerate from 90 to 130, then I threw it into neutral and started to glide. By the time my speed dwindled down to 110 or 100, I could already see the 100km/h speed limit sign, so there wasn't reason to speed up again. I remarked to the Wife that on such a short stretch it's not worth speeding up to 130 km/h because it takes a lot of fuel and doesn't noticeably shorten our trip time. She mumbled something which might have been approval. But I feel that the next time we go that way, she'll say something like "Oh, here comes the 130km/h stretch!".

I'm hoping that, as in Groar's case, once my future aeromods are in place, P&G'ing at higher speeds will be more worthwhile.
