Your analog is perfect and i could come up better analogy myself. Here indeed is the key point of your misunderstanding. Idea is that we should measure the Prius' fuel consumption rate in different velocities. We can measure the fuel consumption rate for the velocities of 200 km/h, 150 km/h, 130 km/h, 100 km/h, 55 mph, 10 m/s, etc. Then we have enough data points to find best fitted function that expresses the relationship between fuel consumption and the speed. Then afterwards we can just measure the speed of Prius and we can find out the fuel consumption rate for any speed e.g. 70 km/h and also we can let Prius running overnight and then later examine from the speed logger how much fuel Prius consumed during the overnight run. You are just utterly mistaken here. Period. Please do not invent silly excuses, because you are just digging yourself even deeper into quick sand. You have mistaken and insulting me indirectly does not gain for you any further respect. It is irrelevant what words do you have for insulting. Only thing that matter is that how Lawrence perceives them. –Jouni
