Swiftcover says that 55 - 65mph is typically the most fuel efficient
speed for driving. Any faster and consumption increases dramatically.
Be a patient driver and step off the accelerator whenever
possible." (From "Cut your petrol costs by a third.")
I was following some numpty yesterday who slowed to 10mph to drive
over a road hump then revvved the arse out of his car to get to the
next hump which he crawled over and so on. He arrived at the end of
the street in exactly the same time as he would have if he'd have
driven at a steady 20mph, but he used much more fuel.
