When I was in Germany last sunday I couldn't resist the urge see what the GS300 could do.
Well, this is what she could do before I ran out of empty road.

Crazy idea if you ask me.

They believe that rich people don't care about a few hundred dollars fine, so to make sure that they are hit as well they need to pay more ...

), that it is plain stupid to ran out of gas.There are plenty of gas stations and these are well documented.
Also, running out of gas is also very dangerous if you are driving fast ....

Congestion on the autobahns is high (that's why Richie could only try this on Sunday), and due the lesser economic conditions, less tax money can be spent on the highway maintenance.
Especially after the summer holidays, lots of highways need to be repaired, causing lots of jams (and regulating the speed limit to less than 80mph).
Also, just ask Richie how much his test costs in terms of gasoline ... no more car heaven in Germany
