Or maybe the question should be adjusted to include: "assuming good driving conditions and light to medium traffic..."Rose Chap said:So, what I need on the poll is an option to say "Depends on the conditions".
I have, in France, covered nearly 230 miles in under two hours without any drama - and in the process emptied the tank .Rose Chap said:This poll kind of misses the point for me.
If there were no speed limits on the motorway, then I'd probably drive an appropriate speed for the conditions - which may or may not be more than 70 mph.
By conditions I mean...
The weather
My car's limits and comfort levels
Other road users and traffic
Visibility
My own limits of reaction
Therefore on a congested wet grey evening in November I might only be doing 60 mph, whereas on a dry sunny morning on a deserted motorway with excellent visibility then I might be doing double that.

The M40 is pretty quiet outside of the rush 'hour'.del320 said:Apart from the M6, north of Preston you'd be hard pushed to regularly maintain any sort of high speed over a significant distance on a UK motorway during daylight hours.
