Hello, noxman -

I have not made any videos, but have recorded fuel consumption on a level road at various speeds in cars with a 1.0L and 1.8L gasoline engines and manual transmissions.

See http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...atic-6710.html

and Speed kills: testing MPH vs. MPG in top gear - MetroMPG.com

These were both done on level roads. Readings were not "instant", but averages taken over a distance > 1km, and then repeated in the return direction.

Other EcoModder members have done similar runs with other vehicles.
