I'm guessing that the answer they're looking for here is that as the speed increases the wind resistance increases more. This means that if you want to go 10 % faster maybe your fuel consumption will increase with 15%. Staying below the speed where wind resistance really begins to hurt lets you get away with using less fuel, which is better for the environment.
