So one of my neighbors is from Georgia and lived in Chicago for awhile. This is the plate he had http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/14/aqepa7y6.jpg

Efficient speeds
"Maintaining an efficient speed is an important factor in fuel efficiency.[3] Optimal efficiency can be expected while cruising with no stops, at minimal throttle and with the transmission in the highest gear (see Choice of gear, below). The optimum speed varies with the type of vehicle, although it is usually reported to be 35 mph (56 km/h) or higher.[11][12][13][14] For instance a 2004 Chevrolet Impala had an optimum at 42 mph (70 km/h), and was within 15% of that from 29 to 57 mph (45 to 95 km/h).[13] The US government 2005 Fuel Economy Guide includes a plot showing the optimum between 50 and 55 mph (80 and 89 km/h) for an unspecified vehicle.[15] Hybrids typically get their best fuel efficiency below this model-dependent threshold speed. The car will automatically switch between either battery-powered mode or engine power with battery recharge; a Prius can achieve over 88 mpg-US (2.7 L/100 km)[citation needed]. Coasting can be achieved by using Neutral transmission range. The Honda IMA vehicles have a limited, battery-only, powered capability, although after-market modifications have made the Insight capable of running in electric only-mode. They achieve higher fuel economy. The GM hybrids have an engine auto-stop when halted. As of January 2007, they have no battery-only, powered capability.
Road capacity affects speed and therefore fuel efficiency as well. Studies have shown speeds just above 45 mph (72 km/h) allow greatest throughput when roads are congested.[16] Individual drivers can improve their fuel efficiency and that of others by avoiding roads and times where traffic slows to below 45 mph (72 km/h). Communities can improve fuel efficiency by adopting policies to prevent or discourage drivers from entering traffic that is approaching the point where speeds are slowed below 45 mph (72 km/h). Congestion pricing is based on this principle; it raises the price of road access at times of higher usage, to prevent cars from entering traffic and lowering speeds below efficient levels. Note, however, that maximizing throughput and fuel efficiency per vehicle mile traveled does not necessarily minimize total fuel consumption, because with maximum throughput the total vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) may be increased compared to a situation in which congestion reduces throughput."
Ya, but i cant be that asshole that dose 50 in a 75...minimum speed should be no more then 10 under max posted! I fucking hate them people that "eco driving" on the highway!Quote:

Death if the rig stops quick.
Oh and it pisses me off when a pack of cars on the highway com up on a trooper doing under the limit and NO ONE will pass!!!!
