100 in the Saturn.

Also, 50 in the Saturn down a gravel road. I'mma pro rally car driver. :praise: Not sure if I should check the paint to see if I have new chips from flying gravel...

Paint chips? Irrelevent. Just make sure no chunks are missing from your tires, and that your suspension isn't broken.

About 85MPH in the Yaris. The electric steering feels really weird at these speeds.

WTH kind of dirt roads are you driving down?  


78 in a 55 today, running down the gas in the X5 so that I can add some BMW Fuel System Cleaner Plus to a fresh tank of premium (found a station with 94 octane) so I have been into the pedal hard the last couple days to get rid of the 91 in her belly.  

Wish the 100 octane was not leaded, that would be nice.  :lol:

Yes, that would certainly describe many of our dirt roads.  :lol:

We do have a bunch that are not that bad, some counties, however,  fail to maintain them at all.

The places that sell 94 and above are getting tougher to find. There's only one Sunoco station around here that still sells it, and it's like $6 per gallon.

Our normal premium is 93 here, though. Haven't seen 91 fuel in many years.

My wifes friend and her husband own this one, so she feels obligated to fill here.  I am friends with the Shell owner, so I buy diesel there.

And no that's not on any road that's at the pursuit training we did a couple of the other instructors dared me to try it with my car and they gave chase.  :lol:  They used one new style Charger v8 and one old style v8- neither stayed within 30 car lengths after a couple laps but the new body style was closer by quite a bit.  hehehe  :rockon:

95MPH.


I don't think I will be able to vmax this car. It's pulls so slow after 90MPH. And it's drag limited(IIRC) to 115MPH, whereas the Focus was electronically limited to 107MPH.
