Jack, I believe that both aero drag and rolling resistance change as the
square of speed, so for a given percentage increase in speed you need the
square of that percentage increase in power.
So, if you want to increase your speed fromm 100 mph to 110 mph you need
1.1x1.1x100= 121-100=21% more power. For 20% more speed you need 44% more
power and so on. Hope this is correct.
Simon.
