Speed Kills MPG
Unfortunately, it's true. Your car's gas mileage
decreases once it gets past its optimal speed.
For most cars, this is around 55-60 mph (88km/hr-96km/hr) This
means that every time you go over this speed,
you're essentially wasting gas and money - and
creating unnecessary greenhouse gases.
You'd be surprised to learn that a slight
decrease in your highway driving speed can
significantly reduce your gas consumption,
while only adding a few minutes to your travel
time.
How much?
According to studies backed by the department
of energy, the average car will be at its
advertised MPG at 55 mph. But as the speed
increases:
- 3% less efficient at 60 mph
- 8% less efficient at 65 mph
- 17% less efficient at 70 mph
- 23% less efficient at 75 mph
- 28% less efficient at 80 mph
