if you are driving your car against the rotation of the earth, will you use more gas than if you drive with it

Answer 1

no because the distance from A to B stays the same. Flying is a different story because you are not rigidly tied to the rotating earth.

Answer 2

It is all relative.
Your speed [or speed=distance/time] depends upon which frame of reference you're speeding along in. The earth being the frame of reference means you will use the same amount of gas with all other factors--like your driving techniques--being the same no matter which direction you travel.
And for the answerer who said the thing about the fly. No, the fly is not flying any faster than it normally does. The air mass inside your car is now the fly's frame of reference.

Answer 3

hmm not sure but here's an experience i noticed. When am driving to a destination like 300miles away from my house, it seems like it took more time and gas to get there. But finally when i headed back home it was so fast and less gas. It should be the same since i followed that same direction of travel each time. No traffic cause i travel in the early AM time.

Answer 4

The answer is in Einsteins theory of relativity
