As noted, faster you go, the more fuel you use once past an X factor of seed. my sailboat, use very little difference in fuel from 0-5.5 knots, double fuel per hour from idle to 5.5. double again from 5.5-6 knots or so, double that to hull speed of 6.6. see the same with vehicles from 0-60, drop 10-20% @ 70, more yet at 80..... not discussing at the 90 grit drives
