Not to drift off topic but gas mileage has never been a concern as to how fast I drive.
I drive at speeds that I am comfortable at and the gas mileage is what it is.
It makes a difference to me. My next trip is planned for about 15k miles. Fuel costs will be close to $4000 at current prices. Cutting back a bit on speed can easily save me 20% or $800. That is in addition to a safer, less stressful trip. Of course I will spent more time driving, but probably not by much. Less stressful driving and better fuel economy means fewer rest stops and fewer fuel stops.
