When I first started driving I drove slow bc I thought it would save gas, then I started driving faster when a friend told me you use the same amount of gas whether you drive slow or fast (as long as it’s the same distance), you just would be driving fast for a shorter amt of time and driving slow for a longer amt of time, but at the end you burner thru the same amount of gas. Is this true?

I have a brand new Seat Leon ST 1.5 petrol turbo manual 6 speed. Done some mpg tests on flat road using cruise control. I get best real-time readings at 30mph in 6th gear, which gives 70-80mpg @ around 900rpm (just above idle speed, I would never do this even on a slight hill). 60mph it drops to 50-55mpg, same gear, can’t remember rpms but obviously more. At 70mph it drops further to 40-45mpg. Air resistance sucks!
