apexing turns

For me apexing turns and costing down giant hills are the "fun" parts of FE.

*This may put you at risk on the road*

If I get the chance I will apex a turn on multi-lane roads by cutting over multiple lanes. I start the turn in the fast lane insted of the turning lane. Obviously this won't help mpg too much (because there are few safe oprotunities to do it), but every little bit helps.

yea i do this all the time, it kinda comes naturally cus when you apex its the smoothest driving, therefore the most comfortable even when the car is nowhere near the limit. i never do it across multiple lanes though, sometimes i will throw in a single lane change.
