Johnny, 65 pushes a bunch of air in front of the coach. Something like "
inversely proportional to the square of the speed" or some other axiom.
When I was a teenager, my mother bought me a subscription to Mechanix
Illustrated. There was a monthly contributor called "Uncle Tom" McHale.
(sp) who did automobile tests. Once a year they did the Mobilgas Economy
Run, and he revealed all the secret tricks they used to improve fuel
economy. One was inflating the bias ply tires to 50 psi. Another was to
place a piece of wood under the accelerator. Swapping thermostats,
maximizing ignition timing, coasting with the engine off on downhills,
driving like you had a balloon under the foot feed was one of his
favorites. Anyway, he always drove under 50 bring the tests. Steady speed,
no jack rabbit starts. You get the picture. If you or I am following
someone who drives like that, it is sure to cause road rage. But it does
save gas.
