IF YOU WANT TO SAVE MONEY ON GAS DRIVE MORE SLOWLY

You can save a lot on gas if you drive at the speed limit.  If you drive at 60 miles an hour you use 9% less gas than if you cruise along at 70 miles an hour.  And if you go 50 miles an hour you can save up to 15%.  So, driving 50 miles an hour would save you about $8.25 per 20-gallon tank filled with gas at the current U.S. average price of $2.75 per gallon.  Driving 50 miles an hour, if you fill up on average once a week, could yield you a yearly gas savings of $429!  However, if you’re going to drive well under the speed limit, please do the rest of us a favor and stay out of the left lane!
