Yes, I think it is credible too. One can easily find graphs of speed/FE relationship online to suggest further corroboration. Too, we know the drag force magnitude increases faster than velocity until it becomes a major factor in determining a car's top speed. I'm using laypeople lingo for it, but you get the principle.
