Gas Mileage Saver: Observe the Speed Limit

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
