The oil paradox

Level 2

We all know that the oil consumption by a car is almost proportional to its change in kinetic energy i.e. the more the velocity of a car, more is its oil consumption. Now consider this case. Car A Car B

Two cars (Car A A & Car B B ) are both moving with the same velocity in a straight road and both started at the same time. After some time Car A A accelerates to a velocity double of the initial velocity.

Now according to ground observer the change in velocity of the Car A A is = 1 / 2 m ( 2 v ) 2 1/2m(2v)^2 - 1 / 2 m ( v ) 2 1/2m(v)^2 = 3 / 2 m v 2 3/2mv^2 and according to a observer sitting in car B B change in K.E. is 1 / 2 m v 2 1/2mv^2 (as relative velocity between two cars is v v ) So with different changes of kinetic energy in two frames does it mean that oil consumption for two frames are different. Can you provide a possible explanation for your answer?

no its a contradictory fact and can't be answered yes
