cruising speed S60 2.0 2004

Post by Gerson625 »

I decided to do an experiment this week. I drove my 2004 Volvo S60 2.0 180hp at a constant cruising speed of 182 km/h. I came to some conclusions.
1- the vehicle's stability is sensational.
2- the brakes are weak (or maybe mine are like that), but if I need to make an emergency stop, even though it's a Volvo with all the maintenance up to date, the brakes are a lot of work (I'm going to make improvements).
3- the consumption isn't the worst at this constant speed. I got an instantaneous average of 6.9-7.5 km/l. 4- I felt safe when I tried this speed for 30 km.
The track was in good condition, with little traffic and a temperature of 27⁰. That's it.

I wanted to share this experience and hear from you guys what your impressions are.

Much of my time during the job is spent hauling things up and down the stairs to the basement or in and out of the storage shed, or running back downstairs when I realize I need something else,or taking a break from standing out in the sun,or using flashlights or work lamps when it gets dark.
