I have measured many tank fulls of gas,at set speeds aswell,my trips are 95% highway,and I can still get 32-34mpg at 90mph,and I have been able to hit 47mpg at 55mph,this is very hard to achieve.So for a car that is only supposed to get 39 highway,and I can get 32-34 semi-speeding,then its still more efficent time wise to go this speed,because the mpg and the mph do not change at the same ratio.Say I was going 50mph and was able to get a steady 42mpg,so if I was going 100mph and only got 21mpg,it would be the same diffrence compared to time,but I bet I would still get about 30mpg,only losing about 25% in mpg,but going twice as fast.
And if wind resistance affected a car so much after 55mph,you might think you would only get 5mpg at 100mph,thats just plain BS.Remember there was a time when the experts and guinesses thought you would be ripped apart if you went over 50mph,what a crock of shit,so dont forget things that are thought to be true,arnt always true. |
