My CU will put 70 on the clock as long as the road is level and there's no significant headwind. My friend's GPS thingy says that in my bus 70 indicated is about 68 real MPH.

Once had an indicated 83 ish going down a lengthy hill on the A1, very noisy, steered OK not brilliant, used a spectacular amount of fuel in a very short time.

I find about 60-65 is the realistic upper end, any more than that and it just costs too much, 50-55 is better fuel wise.

I'm still waiting to find a long enough stretch of road.

I don't usually go much over 60, though. The van doesn't like it, and neither do I.

i managed about 86,satnav says 85 in our devon eurovette,was a bit downhill tho and she did shake rather a lot but sounded sweet -as! 1.6 jx

Same here, 74 MPH on the A30, 1.9 diesel, ALD box, on the limiter..........also goes up Hamburger in top gear at about 50mph.

Never done above 70

My 1.6 CT engine will do a masive 60 MPH but it sounds like its struggling so then I just stick to 50 mph. and slowly go up hills.

106Kph. On the GPS the day i bought the bus, level autobahn. That was when it was just going to be a workhorse, these days 80/85Kph is about my limit, I don't like the sound of the engine any higher than that. 1.6n/a diesel.

Had indicated 85 on the speedo last year and I think its around 10mph slow so 95 ish lol,2.0 l Aircooled.
