I was wondering this morning if all the idiots that drive at a high rate of speed realize how much they are wasting in fuel? Slow down people and do the speed limit. Your wallet will thank you.

"I was wondering this morning if all the idiots that drive at a high rate of speed realize how much they are wasting in fuel? Slow down people and do the speed limit. Your wallet will thank you." A higher rate of speed does not always mean a lower fuel mileage rating. It depends on the specific speed and vehicle. So just because someone is driving faster than you doesn't mean they are wasting fuel (or that they are idiots).

I usually drive 5 under AND keep the heat/AC all that stuff OFF.....I’ve dramatically improved my gas mileage by doing that.

I get 2-3 MPG better at 65 than at 70. Since I drive 130 miles per day, this is significant to me.
