I occasionally have to drive on I-80 and I-35 in the Ames and Des Moines
areas. Granted, we don't have any on-ramps with a 15 percent uphill grade,
but I've never had issues with getting up to respectable speed before
merging in my amazingly-slow 240D, and my particular vehicle is among the
slowest of the slow.

Just ask any IowaQ attendees who had to follow me down to my office.

Yea, it is max force on the pedal and lean slightly forward but I am
normally up to at least 60 mph (with a speed limit of 65 mph, meaning 75) by
the time I need to merge.

Most limited access highways were constructed with sufficient acceleration
room prior to merging.
