Last night I clocked a, GPS measured, witnessed, speed of 824mph on the A38 south of Derby!

Nice straight, flat, road but was not really gong that fast - speedo read about 65! TomTom was rapidly rising at around 75mph each refresh so if I had left it for a couple more seconds I would have broken the 1000! It even recognised that it was above the set safe speed. Reset brought it back to normal!

1.4 Petrol Special Edition, Ebony Black, grey leather, heated seats, climate, opensky, five spoke alloys for SWMBO (Replaced a 2002 1.4 Petrol SE) Honda Accord Tourer 2.2 iCDTi for me.
 
And don't forget that Top Gear once tested a Gatso up to about 175mph and it doesn't flash at that speed, so no worries there!

What was your MPG though? About 2 Gallons to the foot?
