[QUOTE="Alex VW Heritage, post: 413680, member: 19109"] There are lots of great points on this thread, but driving to the conditions is the key. I personally don't run stock engines so always have had a temperature gauge and this is what I drive by. This time of year in the cold temps, I can sit at 85mph all day long, (Not that I do officer) But last summer in the south of france i was lucky to be cruising faster than 45 to 55mph. (I do run a modified 091 box with a longer than stock 4 gear and 205/70 profile tyres, this also makes a big difference). Keeping the rear tyre ratio as large as possible makes a hugh difference. Ambient temprature and humidity makes a hugh difference and you should drive to the conditions. [/QUOTE]
