What Kbps rate were your MP3 files?

For me, I can discern a very noticable difference between  
192kbps and CD.  320kbps comes close to indestinquishable, but  
the bass is still a bit boomier and the highs have an obvious  
"edgyness" that is not pleasant for long passages.  All that is  
for home-based listening with open-air speakers.  320kbps would  
be the minimum I would prefer on the car stereo for music.

I've never really bothered with VBR (variable bit rate)   
versions.
