Since few of us drive 80 MPH, the following experiment would be of interest to many of us:

1) Measure trip time (door to door, not just car moving time) and gas mileage for a week driving 80 MPH.

2) Repeat, only at 70 MPH for a week.

3) Go back to 80 MPH for a week.

This is an ABA test.

Report the results. I'm curious myself.
