Ok sido so let’s not fall out, But it confused me by what you wrote in your first post #15 and I quote. ( This was fast motorway driving at 80 MPH ) unquote.I know north Devon very well indeed as I have family in Tiverton and Taunton,which I know is in Somerset really, but very close to north Devon you must agree, also I use the A361 a couple of times a year when visiting them. Still the only time I might even think of driving at that speed is if they had called last orders in my local ale house LOL and no, I would not be driving after that.Well Les, To get to a motorway I have about three quarters of an hour both ways of speed restrictions of 30 mph even 20 mph close to home, lots of traffic light where I spend a lot of time at 0 mph.When on the motorway I was in the middle lane most of the time with many cars coming past me in outside lane who I think would be of much greater interest to police officers on our motorways. Unfortunately our motorways also have roadworks with speed restriction for umpteen miles with average speed cameras set at 40 mph. And whilst most of my journey was on the motorway sadly motorways haven’t found there way to North Devon yet but the A 361 can be quite a fast road again apart from the miles of speed limited roadwork. This is real world mileage and consumption on what was a longish run for me. Eighty is not my normal motorway speed but I was going to a dental appointment and could not afford to be late. I hope this helps you make sense of the readings.
