Assuming only air friction, do you think it is equally as energy efficient to reach a destination in a vehicle traveling a constant 60 MPH as it is to reach that destination through repeated accelerating to 60 MPH and allowing the vehicle to coast to a stop? That is, you accelerate to 60, then turn off the car. Once it comes to a stop you accelerated to 60 again. Assume no drivetrain losses as well.
