"What does it profit a man to gain the world if he loses his soul?"
The U.S. tried that once. It saved fuel and reduced traffic fatalities. Then they raised the speed limit back up.
There are three things that create poor fuel milage; Gravity, friction and resistance. Gravity and friction are non-controlable. Resistance can be controlled to a point. The faster you drive the greater the resistance to the air around your vehicle. To simplify this, open your window, drive 30 mph and stick your arm out of the window. Note in your mind the pressure against your arm. Now do the same at 60 mph. Your vehicle is being pushed back in the same way. Slow down! 5 or 10 mph is going to make very little difference in your arrival time.
