To the point, i notice that along with this driving habit, my gas gauge goes down very quickly, does that mean that higher speeds, say a steady 90 burn gas faster then a steady 55..? I know the worst gas eater is floor it from a stop, but i didn't realize steady speeds at high speeds could burn gas this fast, i gotta put in $15 every other day.
BTW, everything is fine on my baby also, filters/hoses/pcv/plugs/wireset/ba-na-na-nana..

To go at those speeds, your engine will be revving higher than it would if you were going 65. Also, tHe faster you go, the more aerodynamics come into play, more power is needed to overcome the drag.
