I wish they included the MPG. - Strongbad Apr 8, 12:09 13
- i always wondered, mpg is meassured at 55, so at 250mph, even considering superior aerodynamics - zeitgeist Apr 8, 12:17 11
  - My Del Sol got better mileage at 70mph than 55mph. I verified it on several occasions. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 12:20 10
    - my law school crush drove a del sol. they're girl cars - moles Apr 8, 12:26 3
      - Yeah, it was a girl car. - Spawn Apr 8, 12:27 2

        See? - Spawn Apr 8, 12:30
    - that is interesting. I wonder why -- nm - Epiphany Apr 8, 12:22 2
      - the engine works more efficiently at high speed, and requires less fuel per piston - Beryllium Apr 8, 12:25
      - The sweet sweet g spot. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 12:24
    - that's generally what they mean when they refer to the difference between city and highway driving, IIRC -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 12:21 2
      - (Of course, hybrids have a backwards version of that association, but that's not what we're talking about) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 12:22 1
        
        No, they try to sell you on the 55mph speed limit by saying you will get optimal gas consumption. -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 12:23
