Why is it more fuel efficient to accelerate briskly to a safe cruising speed in a car? This website http://www.advanced-driving.co.uk/driving-tips/acceleration-sense/ said that this is one of the pillars of fuel efficient driving but it didn't really explain why. It seems like accelating briskly would use up a lot of fuel in a short period of time to overcome the low inertia that the car already has.
Which one is more fuel efficient ??? Driving with a constant speed at 60 mph for an hour OR driving at 65 mph? www.fueleconomy.gov (http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/driveHabits.shtml) shows that fuel efficiency decreases rapidly if driving at higher 60 mph speed limit.

What is a more efficient way of traveling, by airplane or by car? I always assumed it used less gasoline per person in an airplane, however I recently was talking to someone who claimed it is much more fuel efficient to drive in a car.

So is a car really more efficient than an airplane? Thanks!

Does the government need to step in and force our car manufacturers to make more fuel efficient cars? Overall the free market system does pretty good most of the time. But everything has weaknesses that must be adjusted. Free market economics has failed miserably in getting cars to be more fuel efficient. Consumers do not make good choices, but continue driving low mileage cars. And irresponsible corporations continue making them. There is no rational reason to manufacture any new passenger cars that get less than 35 miles per gallon starting June 1, 2008.
