if the cars are designed to use the same fuel for less useful output power, then they’re very badly designed.
i’m sure they might be less efficient in terms of miles per gallon. but they surely can’t be so bad as to waste absolutely more fuel at lower speeds.
if they are, fuck them.
People have a misconception that cars waste more fuel at lower speeds, but it’s really due to where the lower speeds are happening. Fuel is mostly wasted due to constant stopping and acceleration, like in a city environment with traffic lights and stop signs. On a highway, it’s actually more efficient because you aren’t stopping so often.
