Yes, pretty much. I wouldn't say 1.5x is a constant factor.
If I drive at 200+kph (e.g. 240kph) then consumption explodes.
This stuff must be online somewhere, but for me at least it seems that consumption increases exponentially (e.g. x^2), which makes sense since air resistance increases with v^2.
