In fairness, nowhere in the thread currently does OP say that they ate these burritos, only that they obtained and weighed them.

I mean it’s a safe assumption, but I can’t confirm it.

Wikipedia says it was named for both although Ford credits the guy who liked the planes as the person who came up with the name.

One of the people who suggested the name apparently liked the planes, but someone in marketing also suggested the name because he liked the horses. I assume the latter is how it got it’s badges.

GPS speed and Ground Speed don’t always match. That would be really the only other option, but it’s negligible.

Example: a car traveling over mountainous terrain will have a higher ground speed than gps speed since the gps speed is only accounting for position and not elevation. Traveling up a mountain and back down the other side is a longer ground distance (sum of 2 sides of a triangle is always longer than the length of the 3rd side) than the straight line distance if there were, say, a tunnel through the mountain.

It’s really not useful data though because it’s usually a negligible difference.
