Interesting that there are active aerodynamic aids underneath.
Um...if yer gonna divide miles by minutes wouldn't the rate be mpm vs mph?

So the actual rate is 4.8mpm (miles per minute) or converted to mph it would be multiplied by a factor of 60 (minutes in an hour) which would be around 288mph.

Rate of fuel consumption is 3.3 gallons per minute!
