Arrow Europe Winter Roadtrip

Having driven back from Kitzbuhel to Plymouth yesterday I thought I would share the fuel economy figures. Our 2.0 Diesel was a great fun to drive and very comfortable for the entire trip - the German Autobahn were fast too. We swapped over every 2 hours and maintained (85MPH) 140Km/hour in cruise control for the most part. Did a few short high speed runs at up to 130MPH - and the X3 felt rock solid.
Fuel economy was 40MPG - so very pleased with that given the speed we made and the conditions.
Road conditions were mostly just cold (-10DegC rising to +4DegC). Traffic was light for the most part - except round London!
Winter tyres proved there worth giving some of the conditions we encountered.
PS all speed limits were observed for this trip.
