For the right tool you have to go to the right place! Look up restaurant

Yep, true but can openers are a wee bit cheaper than even the most second

John said Faster = More Gas. More Gas = More Energy.
Maybe yes, maybe no.
It depends on what you are driving as well as how fast you are driving it.
As a good rule of thumb, driving at torque peak for your engine in top gear
usually comes pretty close to the best MPG you will be able to get.

Air resistance goes up dramatically as a function of speed, per the
following equation:
Power = 0.5*Cd*FA*V^3

Power is the power consumed by the vehicle

FA is the frontal area of the vehicle
V is the speed of the vehicle
Using this equation, you
