OK, maybe Luxembourg is a car drivers paradise (moneywise at least and while we have limits on our motorways, the oh so free Germany is just next door):

 

Road tax (carbon emission based) VRS TSI: 142g/km equals 93€ tax/year, TDI with 119g/km is 85€/year

 

But please don't come all at once, we are tiny, have not much space

Don't have good roads either

the only problem with our roads are:

1) full of cars

2) very short, brake too slowly and you're in France, Germany or Belgium..then you will know how bad some roads can be.

 

Back on topic:

How can I in fact detect if the car is doing a regen (active or passive) during normal driving? I can tell when it started just before getting back home because of the burning smell, but I haven't detected the smell during driving yet, I'm only at 300km, and the only regen I noticed was at 100km.

Driving the e25 last summer there were loads of potholes and some pretty deep

E25 is very much a transit route(well most of the country is) for lorries from the Netherlands and Belgium to go to Germany or southern France, with a little pitstop in Luxembourg to buy cheap fuel, cigarettes and coffee. So yes, there are a few stretches with potholes, but not as bad as that though, or you are very fortunate with the roads around Oxfordshire.

No the roads here are pretty lousy but the motorways are ok
