Ah, that makes sense. I think most people would calculate by distance
traveled, because the overall concern is how much energy you'll use for
a trip of a certain distance.

I encounter this square/cube controversy semi-regularly. Let me make a feeble
attempt at illumination. Energy lost to wind drag does go up with the cube of
the speed. That energy lost is per unit time and does not account for extra
distance traveled at higher speed. On the basis of energy lost per unit
distance traveled, the loss goes up with the square of the speed.
Clear? As mud?
