If a car is getting 46 miles per gallon at 90 mph, that means it is burning 2 gallons per hour. 2 gph with a gasoline engine implies about 20 horsepower (10 hp for every 1 gph - good rule of thumb). It seems unlikely that even a slinky car like a 'vette could do a sustained 90 mph with only 20 horsepower. More likely it was either a transient reading or some sort of glitch in the instrumentation. |
