Drive the Speed Limit and Save Gas and Money!
 Are
you like me and you just drive along with the flow of traffic?
Do you get mad at the person who is actually
driving the speed limit in the slow lane?
If you are one of the speed demons out there who thinks that life in
the fast lane is the way to go, you might want to reconsider.
If you slow down and actually drive the speed limit, you can actually
increase your fuel mileage and save money at the same time.
Driving the speed limit might take some getting used to, but in the
average car, you can save about 1 mile per gallon by just driving like
you should.
Doesn't sound like much?
If you have a 20 gallon tank, that amounts to 20 extra miles you can
drive on that tank. You just saved 3 bucks! It's like paying
$2.85 per gallon instead of $3.00. You would drive across town to
save 15¢ a gallon, but would you drive more efficiently to save 15¢ a
gallon?
And, your blood pressure will be lower if you aren't fighting with
the other speed demons in that fast lane! |
