41-43 mpg?????



Actually due to centripital force, the car should use less gas as it is 
"pulled" toward the equator. More energy required as you go north.

Again, as you drive East >> West the earth turns under you and you travel 
with a back wind.
West >> Est goes along with the spin of the easrth, but against the 
atmosphere.
