And stay out of the left lane!!!

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.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Dont come to Minnesota. JFC these people need to learn how to drive.

Under normal conditions, no, vehicles don't get better MPG at higher speeds. Quite the opposite. That would be some cool physics, though.

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?

Sorry, but that just cannot be true. Physics and stuff. The higher your speed, the more work required by the engine, and the more wind resistance you will face.

I saw it at $3.39 today! I love you Donger!

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.

I mean in a (no homo) sort of way.

I've heard that diesel makes pretty good lube. Unconfirmed, at least by me.

Anyway, if we can move on past Bugeater's Donger-love...

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.

$5.37/gal at 80mph in my TrailBlazer...I ****ing hate you Donger.

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. :shrug:
