hi,
what is the exact best speed for fuel economy?
why is 5mph less economic than 75mph?

The best speed for fuel economy varies depending on the vehicle and driving conditions. Generally, driving at a consistent speed between 40-60 mph can result in the best fuel efficiency.
As speed increases, air resistance and drag also increase, causing the engine to work harder and use more fuel. This means that higher speeds typically result in lower fuel economy.
Driving at a consistent speed can help improve fuel economy, as frequent acceleration and deceleration can use more fuel. However, in certain driving conditions, such as in heavy traffic, varying your speed may be necessary.
Yes, the type of vehicle can greatly impact the best speed for fuel economy. Generally, smaller and more aerodynamic vehicles will have a higher optimal speed for fuel efficiency compared to larger and less aerodynamic vehicles.
Yes, other factors such as tire pressure, vehicle maintenance, and driving habits can also impact fuel economy. It is important to regularly maintain your vehicle and practice efficient driving techniques, such as avoiding sudden accelerations and maintaining a steady speed.
