Thanks for that...will bear in mid for the return trip :)
An easy run to Dijon...mainly sunny, a few showers, very little traffic and temperature in the mid twenties. Diving long distances solo is a little tedious though...and it’s a route we’ve travelled many times, so it was slightly unsettling.
On a practical note though, setting the units in the car to Km/h meant the adaptive cruise worked within french speed limits. So thanks for that suggestion. Very clever...it wasn’t confused by the frequent signs aimed at caravans with lower limits, and it also adjusted down to 110 when it did rain. It did however also set the OBC to litres/100 Kim’s, and all the sat nav directions to kms as well. The lane assist/active steering/cruise make perfect sense on clear French motorways...a very relaxing drive indeed. However, having now covered 470 miles today the average mpg is now 37.7, average speed 67 mph and I’ve ‘gained’ 21 miles from my economical driving style (how I managed that when I left the car to it I don’t know...) The car also managed to beat its own estimated arrival time by a whole hour. Perhaps the algorithm still assumes U.K. road speeds?
Time for a stroll, some supper and wine. I ‘only’ have 250 miles to cover tomorrow I’m popping in to Beaune tomorrow morning for a quick tasting as well...
