in the end it all cancels out and its the same. |

you can drive 60 miles for 1 hour doing 60mph
or drive 60 miles in 30 min doing 120 mph (using these #s for the sake of argument)
the gas you use up from going so fast is going to be about the same as the gas you WOULD HAVE used if you were still driving that extra half hour. at least thats the way i look at it.  |

and air resistance is an entire different story. if you were in an airless vacuum doing 80 at low rpm and doing 30 at high rpm, youd probably use more gas doing 30.
*but anyway, before people get carried away here...much of what i said is just me and my sarcastically extremist views for shock value......but in all seriousness.....if you drive slow but do gas-brake-gas-brake....or drive fast and just dont brake until your there....youll use the same amount of gas (if not less for not breaking and accelerating) |
After these three posts, I'm 100% positive that you are clinically and legally retarded.
You should apply for a handicapped plate/permit with your retardation. Then you could use the gas you saved driving faster to drive closer to the building for parking and not have to walk as far.
