Here is a new map with the search areas and the location of the ping
MH370

A couple of inconsistencies spring to mind.
1. If the aircraft flew faster, and ran out of fuel sooner, why is the search area so close to Australia? The aircraft left Malaysian radar at 0215 local and the last Inmarsat contact was 0811, so if it was moving faster in the same given time, its distance traveled would be longer, but its time aloft would be slightly shorter.
2. At the nominated position of the ping, the speed to get there given the two times above (0215 - 0811) would be between 356 knots and 370 knots.

Somehow the laws of physics are being rewritten for us. Or, of course, there may be some new economic index of the truth being applied.
