Default Here's what I think...

1st to 2nd 30mph
2nd to 3rd 60mph
3rd to 4th 90mph
4th to 5th 120mph

I've driven w/ you, Tozo, and I know how you drive. These shift points are well below redline. The S8 shifts into 5th at 140mph when approaching redline and I don't ever feel any hunting or thumping during this type of acceleration.

Default I only wish I could get 20 mpg when driving like that. The computer shows 5 mpg,

but I think that's optimistic. I wish I had access to roads that would allow me to measure fuel consumption in the triple digits- it might not be too bad if you could sustain it for awhile...

Default The faster you go, the better it gets. With increased speed you can drive more

miles before you run out of fuel.
