Hi,
The issue stems from fuel mileage. If I drive 78 kph (49 mph), I get about 26 liters per 100 k (9 mpg). If I drive 80 kph (50 mph), I get 29 liters per 100 k (8 mpg). One would hardly credit such a huge difference for such a small change in speed--yet it is quite real.
Since, where I live, I pay 1.279 per liter ($4.84 per US Gallon), for a day where I travel 500 kilometers it saves a tidy sum of money.
Don't try to save a dime at the expense of everybody else on the highway.
