Correct answer
Yes, because of greater aerodynamic resistance and other factors.
Yes. At high speed aerodynamic resistance increases and fuel use per kilometre generally rises. This does not mean every increase from a very low speed always raises consumption: gear, engine speed, gradient and other conditions matter. Continuous acceleration is not needed to maintain constant speed; drive smoothly at an appropriate speed.
