A friend with a similar older C to mine (both 460's) who travels to a few of the same air shows as I do used to rib me about driving at 65 or 70 and wasting soooo much gas, he stuck to 55 religiously.
Then I pointed out that the difference was 0.5 mpg between his speed and mine. So on a 1,000 mile run to Florida (2k round-trip) that meant 235 gallons instead of 250 gallons, even at $4 / gal. a difference of $60 and 36.25 hours of driving time versus 30.75 hours, a savings of 5.5 hours of driving time.
My time worth more than $10.90 / hour.
He now runs right along with the rest of us.
