Well, I'd rather drive fast than slow, but when all I have time for is commuting in rush hour traffic or driving my daughter to school, I might as well cruise and save some gas!

Besides, my car isn't that fast anyway, so why flog it AND waste gas...especially at $3/gal?

the past 3 tank i been keep track so far my average is 18-20 mpg. with all local road driving.
with freeway driving i got up to 22mpg.
i guess i have lead foot...
but it's true i rather drive fast and get home rather than spend all my time in traffic and cruise.
