I was surprised at Hägar's fuel consumption when stabilized at Vmax (187 km/h GPS).
It was less than 10L/100km - though it obviously takes a far higher fuel consumption to get there.

Climbing inclines at 130 kph rather than "eco"-speed (95-105 kph) also reduces fuel consumption in my car - the deal-killer is the acceleration of course.
At Vmax, the fuel consumption to go up comparable inclines hardly increased and was lower than while climbing at 105 kph, which tripled and quadrupled consumption to well beyond 12 L/100km.

Weird things seem to happen @ speed
