Sticking to the 65 mile-per-hour speed limit improved the fuel economy of your car by almost 15%. This also reduces car emissions and saves the average driver $200 on gas each year.
Each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.24 per gallon for gas! The Union of Concerned Scientists say that droppin gform 70 to 60 mph improves fuel efficiency by an average of 17% . Dropping from 75 to 55 mph improves it by 30%!
If you need more convincing, check out the "I drive 55" campaign and documentary. Sammy Hagar couldn't do it, but you can!
