10th of a mile at 15 seconds is the equivalent of doing 25 mph. I'd not call that trivial considering you're not doing 25mph.


Then my math must be off. 60 miles/hour at 15 miles/gallon = 4 gallons/hour.

Idle is like 0.15 gallons/hour. There's no way 25 mph uses that little gas, if 60mph uses 26 times as much.


> 60 miles/hour at 15 miles/gallon = 4 gallons/hour

What 1960s car are you driving? :) Should be getting 50-80mpg at 60mph.
