Any speed higher than 55 mph MUST consume more gas!!! How much more might
be questionable; but it has to be more unless someone has developed a
machine that reverses the laws of physics.. You never get something for
nothing in nature...

To "push" a car faster, requires more energy..i.e. more gas; for the same
car..

Mechanical and air friction increase with speed; therefor to go faster,
requires more energy.
