Been testing my cars in Gran Turismo for top speed. So far:

1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R: 273 mph/439 kph

1996 Honda Prelude: 236 mph/380 kph

2003 Honda Odyssey: 187 mph/301 kph.

The minivan is my favorite so far. :')

2006 Ford GT: 302 mph/486 kph

1983 Honda City: 155 mph/250 kph

Caterham used to have a final speed calculator for a gearbox ratio configurator on their website.

It could be tweaked to just over 200mph

I think I may have used that before.

I can already tell you the top speed of my Honda is 128 mph. That's just where the little motor gives up.

My old car would do 152. It's not necessarily a 150 mph car that I need as much as I need something to do 2nd gear pulls so my highway merges can be a little easier. Kinda hard to do it sometimes in something that pulls to 60 in 10 seconds if you're really giving it the beans.

The fuel economy is no joke, though. I averaged just shy of 41 miles to the gallon last week. A little bit of city and a little bit of highway driving.

Using hyper mileage techniques I've had over 90mpg average on the 67mi drive home (normally more urgency to get to work ) from my 2.0TDi

Diesel? You don't get many diesel economy cars here. On this side of the pond, diesel almost always means something like this

We get lots of heavy traffic so there's no opportunity to hold speed. I just feather the throttle, leave many car lengths between me and the car in front of me, and get off the throttle when I see brake lights. LOTS of engine braking. It used to not matter that much but now I drive 20 miles one way to work. I try to make a tank last 2 weeks. I can get pretty close. Usually.

Apart from that, any tips?

Yes, honey. The kids got to soccer practice right in the nick of time.

@Frau Blucher the 2.0 isn't really an economy model, drop to the 1.6TDi and that'll squeeze even more out of your fuel

Im unlikely to offer any advice that won't be found by searching for hypermiling.

For myself I'm lucky that the roads aren't too busy and can maintain steady speed. There are a couple of big trucking companies locally that I'll slipstream as they're on their way home and can sit behind them for many miles - radar cruise control helps

It's so strange that you use miles per gallon

When i saw the number I was like wtf, that's crazy high, because we use litres per 100 kilometers, so smaller is better
