Drove my Slavia on the Bengaluru-Mysore expressway: Overall experience

While the overall drive is now very relaxing, there are few scenarios where there are clusters of cars doing 90kmph and occupying all lanes.

BHPian audioholic recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Had to drive to Mysore for a function and had a pleasant drive both ways. I left Friday afternoon from South Bengaluru and made it to Mysore ring road junction in a little more than 90mins, still getting very good FE for the 1.5TSI. I did stick to the 100kmph speed limit except for a few overtaking bursts. Like someone mentioned here, while the overall drive is now very relaxing, there are few scenarios where there are clusters of cars doing 90kmph and occupying all lanes. I had set 105kmph on cruise control and maybe had to disengage 2-3 times at the most.

Onward journey:

Return journey was from Mysore center to my house hence higher distance:

On the way back, slightly higher traffic which means more overtaking bursts and an elevation increase dipped the FE slightly, but I was also pretty aggressively driving above 100. Somehow haven't received any sectional speeding ticket so far. No major flaws except for a few cars missing exits and reversing slowly on the shoulder. On the way back I definitely expected a fine or two with a good picture of us, but missed the opportunity mostly
