My aunt has a prius in LA, California. Prius's can use the HOV lane there because of their environmental-friendlyness, but that's kinda ironic because she gets lower gas milage driving in the HOV lane (at higher speeds) than she did when she didn't (in stop-and-go bumper-to-bumper traffic).

90 kph give or take an angstrom. What's an angstrom between friends? lol

It is a good point that losing weight and increasing fuel efficiency go
hand in hand. It seems that the heart of the issue is
consumption. Kind of obvious but it does make sense.

Most engine timing and even transmission timing (shift point) is now
handled by computer. Some cars have sport mode and so on.

Forgive me... my comments were a little broad, but i was
referring to those who cannot fit into fuel efficient vehicles because
they are overweight (hence, shedding fat for oil), height is a

It's not just gear ratios, but also the tradeoff between rolling resistance and wind resistance. Obviously the worse the aerodynamics, the lower the optimum speed, no matter if the engine is regeared to operate at optimum efficiency point -- my schoolbus gets much better mileage at 35mph than

mileage was obtained from North American cars around 35-40 mph.
I understand the the cars in the transcontinental mileage contests that

Hi Jonathan,From what I can tell, there are few logical reasons for a 55mph speed limit. From a mileage point of view, theratings on carsreported by the manufacturer arefrom tests performed at 49mph in order to legally mislead the public and make the numbers look more favorable. That would
