What is the thermodynamical reason that a car's maximum fuel efficiency is for speeds 55-60 mph? (See http://www.mpgforspeed.com/ )
The "max. fuel-efficient speed" of a car refers to the speed at which the car can travel while using the least amount of fuel. This is typically the speed at which the car's engine operates most efficiently, resulting in the highest fuel economy.
The "max. fuel-efficient speed" of a car is determined by various factors, including the car's engine size, weight, aerodynamics, and fuel type. It is usually determined through extensive testing and analysis by car manufacturers.
Yes, the "max. fuel-efficient speed" can vary for different cars depending on their design and specifications. Factors such as engine size, weight, and aerodynamics can all affect a car's fuel efficiency and, therefore, its "max. fuel-efficient speed."
No, the "max. fuel-efficient speed" of a car is not the same as its top speed. A car's top speed is the maximum speed that it can reach, while the "max. fuel-efficient speed" is the speed at which it can travel while using the least amount of fuel.
Driving at the "max. fuel-efficient speed" can result in significant cost savings on fuel expenses. It also helps to reduce the car's carbon footprint and can contribute to a more sustainable environment. Additionally, driving at the "max. fuel-efficient speed" can help to prolong the life of the car's engine and other components.
