ES 300's HP losses at X mph:
55mph = 7.8 horsepower
60mph = 10.1 horsepower
70mph = 16.0 horsepower
100mph = 46.7 horsepower
120mph = 80.7 horsepower
140mph = 128.1 horsepower
Camry's HP losses at X mph:
55mph = 8.4 horsepower
60mph = 10.9 horsepower
70mph = 17.3 horsepower.
100mph = 50.5 horsepower
120mph = 87.2 horsepower
140mph = 138.5 horsepower

Can anybody explain this to me, preferably through a formula. The loss looks very linear from 55-70mph, but it jumps more than the ~3hp per 5mph from the 70mph to 100mph mark.
I am not trying to disprove the findings, simply understand them.
