Historical fuel consumption vs. speed graphs
From my previous car's owner's manual, drivers were enlightened with the attached little tid-bit.
This was in the 1956 Beetle owner's manual. And, I believe in prior and very few subsequent years.
It shows a litres/100km (un-labeled) vs. speed graph where the consumption goes up (nearly linearly!) as speed rises. As well, there is a weight penalty plotted!
Note: the maximum speed of these cars was/is 68 mph!
[First post... Glad to be part of the movement!]
