Based on the law of constant travel time budget, the average travel time elasticity of the amount of kilometres equals -1, (average for all modalities) (Van Wee, 1998; Pfleiderer, 2003). Fuel consumption of a car increases at higher speeds, the main reason being that with increasing speed the wind resistance increases exponentially.
