Hmm. But over a fixed distance, the overall energy expenditure scales as v^2 (for v^3 power regime). Double the speed implies octuple (?) the power but only for half the time implies quadruple the energy spend.
Not invalidating your point, but just a minor adjustment. :)
- tagoregrtst 5y agoI love it :) Never considered that point but, as a rebuttal, consider that trip time vs speed is extremely non linear and stochastic (due to traffic, lights, etc). In my experience you have drive much faster than x% to increase your average speed x% and it doesn't appear to be a linear scaling at all. Of course, you shouldn't be doing 80 in urban roads
