My driving is a combination of 400 mile round trips (typical) on motorways and hard driving on B roads and single track country roads. I dont commute in the M as I have a Jeep Patriot for knocking about in. The M is for playing out in (country roads and B roads) and business trips.

Locally I hammer it, flat out where I dare at all times and hitting 140-150mph on B roads regularly (sorry plod but it has to be done). On business trips I drive aggressively but rarely exceed 100mph for more than a few seconds (our motorways are plod infested and not worth the risk).

The car varies between 19 and 19.3, never seems to go outside these limits. This is purely from the DIS.

I swear I hammer the shit out of it, I hammer the shit out of the Jeep too (34-37 mpg 2.0 VW Diesel) which is scarier than the M to be honest. My wifes Merc actually locks itself when I go near it.
