More than twenty years ago, I drove from The Netherlands to Munich in a Volvo v70 at 210 KM/h most of the trip. I could see the fuel gauge needle move as for every 5KM it used 1L of petrol.

Driving this fast was awesome. You have to keep an eye on the horizon because you will be there in less than 10 seconds.

But it was absolutely nuts. As I see it, from an environmental perspective, it's indefensible.

I'll miss the lack of a speed limit, as driving fast is absolutely awesome, but I can't justify the tax of this 'perk' on society.
