[QUOTE="bikinpunk, post: 2039745, member: 568114"] Are you saying you'd burn more gas going 2 miles an hour than at 0 mph? Based on your theory that's how it seems. My whole premise for this post was based on the main fact that sitting idle in the car you get 0 mpg. However, if you go 2 mph you drastically improve mpg. I guess what I'm wondering is when this ratio tapers off and at what point higher speed is better than the lower speed. I know there also is a point where a higher speed is worse, but I wonder what types of speed it would take. Are we talking 20's & 30's or 50's & 60's (mph)? [/QUOTE]
