Save money on gas

Okay, you can't really save money on the gas you pay for, but you can may the gas you buy go farther... it's almost the same. If you check out this site (http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/driveHabits.shtml), they have a graph of fuel economy versus speed. According to them, fuel economy takes a nose-dive over 60 mph; for every additional 5 mph that you drive over 60, it costs you an equivalent 20 cents per gallon of gas. Yikes!
