Speed Odometer

An odd question for everyone.

Why do all the speed guages have a orange spotted area between the 40-60 km/hr area?

Is there a reason for it?

[strictlyspeakin]

Mine doesn't.
I remember from other MBs that they would have orange dots at the shift points. Could that explain it?

suggested speed limits in your country? i remember fords had something similar at the 55mph mark

[wichipong]

it is where you get the best gas mileage?!? :dunno:

[8=Anonymous=8]

can't be where it gets it's best fuel consumption (gas mileage)
i'd say the suggested speed limits in certain countries
i asked this a while back and got the same responses
Mine are between 30-35 Km/h and 50-60 Km/h

its the safe speed limits in germany

and also on the manual is says its also the best range for mpg

Well it is around the same area, which is the normal city speed range. So I guess that could be it.. but it's kind of stupid. Especially if the speed limit ever changed.

I thought it might have been for optimal performance in terms of fuel.
