i no we all go on about our 'spirited drives' with the factor, but has anyone done the opposite??

i'll go first

friday evening, appx 7:00pm i was driving to the g/f house 7 miles away on the A roads. it took me 40 minutes and i did not exceed 2500 rpm in ANY gear.

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
