I hope most Austrians don't listen to that kind of music. Sorry for going OT.

5l/100km at 120 km/h? What is the official extra-urban rating for your car?

4.7l/100km but I guess that's feasible with 90km/h, the most fuel efficient speed for most cars. It really starts to increase when you drive above 120km/h. Last time I fueled, I drove this tank of gas on mostly city streets and provincial highways and I got 20,3 l / km or 47.8 mpg. I always check my fuel usage when I gas up.

Nice. The most I could get out of my car (2.3L Ford Focus) was 7l/100km when I drove all the way on motorway halfway at 90 km/h and the other half at 110-120 km/h

I have very fond memories of that road - especially the "big sur" part

What's the speed limit on Malaysian freeways?

As for the fuel consumption, I personally don't care - the extra it might cost driving fast is made up in time saved...


As a general rule I drive 10km/h above the freeway speed limits ( 120-140km/h ) in Denmark - the police only focusses on wreckless drivers and everybody else drives 10km/h too fast too ( following traffic so to say )
maximum speed limit on Malaysian motorway is 110km/h.

Nice view of the skyline. We don't have that in Europe often...

I made a video of the A50 motorway in the Netherlands. It travels through a heavily forested area of the Gelderland province.

A50 Heerde, NL

Some more video's I made. It's better to watch them at high quality.

A1 near Holten, eastern Netherlands

A drive on the eastbound A1 motorway near Holten/Rijssen. This is a major truck route to central/eastern Europe, so Russian trucks are not uncommon here.


Link to High Quality

A16 Rotterdam, the Netherlands

A drive on the busiest (AADT:250.000) and widest (16 lanes) motorway of the Netherlands. We also see a multilevel stack interchange and the 12 lane van Brienenoord Bridge.

Link to High Quality

A20 Rotterdam, the Netherlands

A drive on the busiest (AADT:180.000) six lane freeway in the Netherlands along the northern side of Rotterdam. We see 2 interchanges and a few exits in this video.

A12 Den Haag / The Hague

One of the most spectacular urban freeways in the Netherlands is the A12 in The Hague, called "Utrechtsebaan". First, it travels through the only true 4-level stack interchange in the Netherlands and then proceeds into The Hague, where you drive underneath various office complexes and highrises.

Well, check it out in this video;
