[QUOTE="bikinpunk, post: 2027769, member: 568114"] I know that. The question is here, do you still burn the same TOTAL amount of gas. I'm not saying this is true, but this is where the point is always made: I think speed vs. time would be exponential. Thus, the more speed (rpms whatever) you have the higher the gas expenditure is, but the quicker you get there. You're reaching your destination faster at a faster speed. So, are you burning the same total amount of gas at a faster speed as you would a slower speed but getting there in a longer period of time? I shouldn't have said anything about the 20mpg until later. I started this post in 2 other forums and everyone says something about the rpms. [/QUOTE]
