Take 2 parallel Hot Wheels tracks 100 feet long on flat ground.
Take one of those tracks and put a series of humps along the way.
Take a marble on the end of each track and start them on their way using equal force.

When you put the bumps in one track the end of it will slide towards you.
So the ends of the two tracks will not longer line up.
Both marbles will still travel 100 ft on their "odometers".
But as the crow flys one track will be shorter.
I think the marbles will reach the end of their respective tracks at the same time.
Of course if the bump it too high it won't make it, but that is not relavant to our discussion of cars with engines.
Need fewer troops to support.
Drive a hybrid.
Best tank 71.65 MPG.
Before this car I spent two years learning hypermiling on my 2004 HCH1.
