What does it mean when you only get heat from your car when you are driving highway speeds?
If by this you mean only "hot heat" when drive at highway speeds likely thermostat bad and/or almost stuck and takes long time warm up from high engine RPM during highway driving.
Gallons per mile highway?
Cars are rated as to how efficient they are. The government gives them two ratings; Highway mileage and City mileage. City mileage is determined by driving the car at slower speeds and stopping and starting many times. This consumes a lot of fuel during the times the car is not moving or having to accelerate. Highway mileage is determined my driving the car long distances at highway speeds, usually 55 mph or more.

When driving with ac on in city traffic what is reason ac does better on highway driving.?
First the car engine and thus the air conditioning compressor are running faster at highway speeds, so the unit is capable of more cooling. Second highway speeds force more air over the condenser coils which are in the front of the car, which means they are more efficiently cooled by the outside air thus allowing the system to more efficiently cool the inside of your car. You might want to check the "charge" of the system if it gets really cold on the highway, and is less than adequate in the city.
How much of a cushion should you keep between you and the car in front of you under normal driving conditions?
2 to 5 seconds, depending on what speed you are travelling and the weight of your vehicle. The faster you go or the heavier your vehicle is, the more distance you should have between vehicles. Check the time by taking note of some landmark such as a sign or overpass, and when the car in front reaches it, start counting seconds. When you pass that same landmark, stop counting. If you're doing city speeds (around 30mph/50kph), you should have 2 or 3 seconds between. At highway speeds (around 60mph/100kph), you should have more like 5 seconds between.
How close should you be to a car while driving?
At freeway speeds, only a fool breaks the two second rule. Let the car in fromt pass an obstacle, sign, roadmarker or similar and you should pass it not less than two seconds later. At urban speeds one and a half to two car lengths.
What is the most mpg a car has?
Usually highway driving is where a car gets the most mpg.
What is the meaning city driving?
City driving is ; driving at slower speeds, stopping at various stop lights, sitting at stop lights. City driving (as opposed to highway driving) is considered harder on the car, it wears out faster. A car usually has two different fuel efficiancy ratings (mileage) - since city driving takes more energy, the mileage for 'city driving' is lower than for 'higway driving', where the car travels for longer distances without having to constantly stop and go.
Can you give a sentence with the word recklessly?
