You know what the problem with those super sports cars that can go 200+mph?

Posted by zeitgeist Jan 12 '10, 11:35

most of them have EPAs of something like 6mpg, now we all know that's tested going granny speeds ona windless treadmill and of course YMMV, now true they are a lot more aerodynamic but if you think you can drive 200 miles across germany in an hour, ha ha, safety issues aside, I'd guess that the gas tank hits zero about as fast the speedo hits 250

The speed limit is like...60? -- nm - Jim Jan 12, 11:36 4
- there are stretches on european autobans without speed limits though its not as liberal as it used to be -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 12, 11:39 2
  - I was crushed when I learned that "autoban" was just the term for a ahighway in Germany and not some super special no speed limit road -- nm - oblique Jan 12, 11:41 1
    - autobahn (car railroad) please :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 12, 11:42
- in germany? depends on where a few places still have no speed limit -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 12, 11:38
