My German friend tells me no one drives a diesel car on the Autobon freeway,the can't keep up.
(Just my two cents)
That's very interesting. We hosted a foreign exhange student from Germany 3 years ago. His father owned a taxi firm, and most of their taxi's were diesel powered Mercedes Benz. He never mentioned any problem with driving them on the autobahn and I know for a fact that they used them out there regularly. In fact, he said that they can move right along with the fast traffic, pulling over only for the sports cars that are really hauling. Maybe a little VW diesel would run into problems, but there's no reason that any engine, regardless of engine type, couldn't maintain autobahn-type speeds when equipped with the proper gearing.
