That's why I always keep both gallons per hour and miles per gallon displayed on my ScanGauge. It teaches you things that don't make sense until you do it and see the numbers right before your eyes.

That was going to be one of my first tests when I get the Scangauge, time vs throttle and such. I had thought that in a flat mile from still that a shorter accel time with a longer cruise time would be more efficient than taking a full mile to get up to speed.
