I stick to 70mph or less because it makes a difference to the amount of fuel I use. I do about 300 miles each week going to work but I do only average just over 4 days a week. Not a lot compared to some but enough for me to see what goes on on the roads and want to save some fuel.

I agree it does not make it right, but is a limit of 70Mph realistick (SP) with todays vehicles, with improved performance, handling, brakes ect. I mean I can do 100Mph in 3rd gear.
I would agree if I stick to 70mph the consumption of fuel is far, far better than if I drive a bit faster. and 300 Miles Per week to me is a lot, It would cost me at least £60 a week. this is one of the main reasons I have not gone for a manchester job.
