Gas Saving Tips
Don’t Speed. Every 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an extra $.21 cents a gallon for gas.
Stop tailgating. Frequent stops and starts costs you an extra 1-2% in fuel efficiency.
Department of Energy (US), Argon National Laboratory Study
Engine: 73% more horsepower to cruise at 60 MPH., 159% more horsepower to cruise at 70 MPH.
Fuel Cost: Research indicated that each mile per hour above 50 MPH increases fuel consumption by 1.5%.
Tires: Tire wear will almost double at road speeds of 70 MPH or greater.
Maintenance Cost: Increasing from 60 MPH to 70 MPH increases the cost by 80%.
Accident Probabilities: Approximate stopping distances. At 70 MPH, stopping distance is 63% greater than at 50 MPH. Even in daylight, higher speeds will significantly increase accident probabilities.
