All things being equal (as they say) including equipment, position on the bike, etc., 30 mph versus 25 mph requires a 73% increase in power output (Power = Force x Velocity) and Force (drag) rises approximately as the square of velocity (level ground, no wind, ignoring power losses in the drive train, etc.).
