When two wrongs make a right: The efficiency-consumption gap under separate vs. joint evaluations [PDF]
The MPG illusion and the time-saving bias both show that people misjudge the gains from increases in efficiency or speed, because people falsely believe that efficiency and speed are linearly related to consumption (e.g., gallons of fuel or journey time).
