Re: Gas Mileage Question - Long Distance Driving

Yeah; the faster you go the more gas you use, due to wind resistance. It's why the gov't set the 55mph speed limit in the 70's, to reduce gas used. Most vehicles get best mileage between50 and 60.

Sounds like you've got a long trip planned, through Oregon to TX then up to NJ. How many days are you planning?
