Your car uses fuel more efficiently when you drive the speed limit. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that every 5mph you drive over 60mph is like paying a $0.30 surcharge on every gallon of gasoline.
Investment: a little extra time: driving 60 instead of 65 will make a 60-mile trip less than 5 minutes longer
Instead of: driving over the speed limit does not allow your vehicle optimal fuel efficiency
Savings: $0.30/gallon, times the number of miles you drove at 60 instead of 65, divided by your vehicle's mpg
Bonus: It is safer to drive the speed limit, plus you are helping the environment by emitting less CO2.
