Best Answer

in all vehicles, speed and miles per gallon are indirectly related, meaning the faster you go, the less your MPG rating will be. The further you push down the accelerator, the more fuel is injected into the engine and raising the rate the piston moved up and down in the cylinder, causing the engine to guzzle fuel quicker.
