In a previous post Range for Speed it was explained that high speeds dramatically decreases range. If you want to travel far, it is advisable to reduce speed. The post became a blockbuster and like any successful production it is now followed up with episode two (Range for Speed 2) to answer questions about consumption in low speed.

Now testing speeds at 40, 60 and 80 km/h it can be concluded that also in low speeds the difference in consumption is significant. The car consumes 15% more energy at 60 km/h compared to 40 km/h. At 80 km/h the consumption has increased by 40% compared to the 40 km/h.

Converting into range you can go about 55 km further in 60 km/h compared to 100 km/h and another 25 km if speed is reduced to 40 km/h.
