I do definitely get the overtaking advantage! Would be nice to have that sort of acceleration on tap for those purposes.
I'm guessing fuel economy goes to absolute shit at those speeds though (I think it was yourself making reference to 4mpg pretty recently!). I even notice the difference on journeys between going 70 or going 80, and mine is a tiny and relatively slippery shaped car!
