If anything I get better MPG in my Integra by driving 75 vs 65 and that's with the engine at 3750rpm vs 3250

I maintained 120mph in Montana for 75 miles straight in my accord. Average mpg that tank was 19.75 over 154 miles. The rest of them being done at 75mph
Prove it. It might be the first car to accomplish that feat.

Here's a thread with 50 different cars tested, and past 45 mph they all lost mpg with increasing speed.
