What would the energy usage be if all of them were going the same speed?

    More importantly, the KWH used to go the same distance. Sure a car uses more power... It's going faster, and gets to its destination faster, therefore using power for less time.

    Energy is measured in KWH, people. But yeah, your point about normalizing to the same speed to make the comparison fair is good.
