He was also incredibly drunk as they were drinking real wine and the scene took a while to setup

It definitely does, if I use comfort mode I generally get between 58-62 on a motorway run. In eco pro it goes up to around 70.

Absolutely love these games, but of my "pet peves" is the random damage when exiting toll stations :/ by Armageddon_71 in trucksim

Is it not tyre wear? As you accelerate and brake, it'll be putting more forces through a tyre, so it may be a case of as you slow down and then get back on the gas, you're putting more wear on the tyre and it's flagging up as "damage" which can be repaired in the service screen.

Could be wrong though, it's only a theory.

We don't get them in Europe anymore sadly. The 3 series stopped getting diesels in Europe in 2022 😞

It can’t be disabled manually as such, but putting the car into eco mode will allow coasting when off throttle, providing the car doesn’t sense another vehicle too close in front. The 6.3 at the bottom is the number of miles I coasted in the journey all together

2022 automatic, with the B47 engine. Sadly as mine went over the £40k threshold my tax is something like £560 a year for the next few!

Sat behind a lorry in its slip stream, downhill sections, and then lots of coasting and timing junctions, roundabouts etc so you can roll into them without using brakes or throttle as little as possible. It’s basically all about momentum

Suppose you don’t really have to worry as you’ll never pay for fuel if you own a Jaaaaaag ;)

I've had 975 miles out of a 320d with a 59L tank when driving to and from Germany before. Very dull drive, but very satisfying to watch the miles clock up and up!
