  Since light traveling at 671,000,000 mph would still travel faster than a car traveling at 100 mph, parked or driving the speed light will travel remains 671,000,000 mph.

  I can’t see how the car’s fuel efficiency would be relevant in calculating the combinant speed.

  Paul, you are today’s winner.

  It is the same, it cannot travel any faster since it is the fastest known speed.

  (Good catch Jimmy Barcus, it should have read mph, not mpg.)
