Speeding wastes Gas

article

basically says that driving above 60 mph is not fuel efficient

I also read an article somewhere that said that it is more efficient to use air conditioning rather than rolling the windows down. The drag created by the air makes the car use more gas than AC. Apparently the new AC units in cars are very efficient. The most efficient option however, is not running the AC and just using the fan.

Its about 100 degrees and humid in Charleston, so nothing seems efficient. Fortunately we have the lowest average gas prices in the nation at $3.79 (woo woo).

Anyone else have gas tips?
