Average trip speed is great for planning when to leave; not so useful if the concern is FE.
Average moving speed - down the road - relates more directly to FE.
- 150 miles @ 75 mph average moving speed; no stops = 2 hous @ 75 mph average trip speed.
- 150 miles @ 75 mph average moving speed; one 1 hr. stop (lunch) = 3 hours @ 50 mph average trip speed.
