Ok /. help me out here.
My girlfriend and I have a disagreement.
She says a car burns more gas at 35 MPH than at 65 MPH. I say it requires more work to accelerate a vehicle to 65 than 35 or to maintain speed at 65 than 35. She says that due to the fact that 35 uses lower gears, it requires more gas. Who is correct and why?
Thanks,
