How do I maximize MPG? from miles per hour
I've been so very lucky to have this incredible teaching opportunity come my way...I'll be teaching the children who travel with the Carson and Barnes circus...shortly, I'll be leaving Texas for Wyomi...

The main REASON you get better mileage at slower speeds is because of the wind resistance. For that reason your optimal speed/mileage combination will change depending on wind direction. It will PROBABLY be slower than you want to drive on the highway when winds are on the nose. Best you can hope for is to just go slow enough that you get as much fuel economy as you can STAND to get for the driving you're doing. MOST of the time your actual optimal speed will be around 20 MPH.
