Driving habits?

Couch · 03-24-2008, 10:46 AM

My last 2 tanks I've really changed up my driving to get the most out of the tank.

What changed my mind, was getting barely over 200 miles on one tank. I was like holy fuck, I need to chill out.

My last tank with a mix of city/hwy I filled up having traveled 380 miles. The computer said I had ~30 miles left in the tank. I'm guessing it would have been a bit more than that though. I was stoked.

There really isn't "streets and expressway" here in Germany. There aresmall villages (and I mean small, about the size of an American subdivision) and towns scattered everywhere, but in between there are great roads, especially in the mountains. I would say these are the most fun...anyone can put their foot down on the autobahn.

It's a mixture of three. Music, mood AND how active the radar detector is. If all are looking good and traffic is pretty much empty then the pedal is on the floor.

If there are people in front of me, I drive like a grandma because you can't drive through them. If there isn't anyone in front of me..gogo speedracer.

Oh and it very depends on whether I'm driving alone or I have other passengers with me.
