This would also stop all accidents, because as we all know - speed kills. (It is nothing to do with bad driving, according to the government)
Unsurprising - she's Welsh
Scary - She's an MP
As for mpg, my father's Passat TDI will comfortably get over 50mpg (60mpg US, 5.6l/100km) at a cruise when you want it too, which is nice.
