Newer cars do seem to use less gas at higher speeds, but there's a limit to it that depends on the car, and a number of other factors as well. For instance, when I go to southern NJ, I get better mileage going south than north, given the same average speed (the car computer calculates this). I think it's because I'm going more downhill than uphill, but I don't currently have a tool to measure the elevation changes on the trip. |
