IIRC, at top speed, it will drain the fuel tank in 8 minutes.

More generally, German road (build) quality far exceeds US road quality. Ghana and Myanmar have road quality similar to the US.
Yep, they dig the road bed twice as deep as we do here in the states. But being more southern in the northern hemisphere, many of our roads are subjected to much larger temp variations.

Hell here in Oklahoma, for example, in the last 3-4 weeks, it's been 80F, snowed, then approached nearly 0, and is back up to nearly 70 today.
