Slow Down, Live Longer & Save Gas

Driving the speed limit is always recommended, but if traffic allows, you’ll save gas on the highway if you drive slower.

Driving 60 mph uses 9 percent less gas than driving at 70 mph. Going 50 mph can save up to 15 percent.

Avoiding a stop is another smart move. When there is no traffic immediately behind your car, you can stop accelerating and let the car’s momentum take it up to a red light. It could turn green by then. Starting from a full stop takes more gasoline than starting while the car is still rolling.
