All I can say is that given that the profile of the car doesn't change at any given speed, power is relative to work/time... you are increasing the work and decreasing the time. And cubing a number tends to make it increase fast.
Not sure what they are teaching kids today. And yes, I only drive in the left lane while passing... If cars get better mileage at higher speeds, why does driving into the wind reduce gas mileage? After all, this is what your claim is. |

Now, if you're cruising along at 55 MPH in a low gear pulling 5,000 RPM, you probably have the same MPG as you would in your biggest gear at 75 MPH and 2,500 RPM. But... why? |

I reset the MPG average in my Jeep once right before coming down the hill on I-70 eastbound after climbing Floyd's Hill. Put it in neutral and the average was something like 60 MPG by the time I got to the bottom.

Anyway, if we can move on past Bugeater's Donger-love...
https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/driveHabits.jsp You can put in your vehicle's information and get how much you save based on lower speed. Or, how much more you pay based on higher speeds, of course. |

WTF...80 in the Camaro actually cost more, and it has less displacement, manual transmission and is way more aerodynamic. That's unpossible!

"What is the penalty for my car?" ...jeez. Nice site though.
Mine is +$4.80 per 100 miles between 55 and 80, or +$2/gallon. That's a speed tax I can live with (well, especially since you'd probably die on I-17 if you were only going 55). 70 to 80 is only another dollar/gallon. |
