Observe the Speed Limit
While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 50 mph.You can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 50 mph is like paying an additional $0.26 per gallon for gas.
Observing the speed limit is also safer.
Fuel Economy Benefit: 7-14%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.26-$0.53/gallon
