During the 1970′s the speed limit was lowered on the freeways to conserve fuel. I was wondering how much a difference it makes. Is there a good web site with charts showing a typical gasoline powered car and what mileage it gets at different speeds? Every five miles per hour up to 100 miles per hour would be awesome.

I have a 2001 Honda Civic, and I use to easily get at LEAST 30 mpg, maybe even 35 (I do all highway driving, and very rarely do i drive in the city)
I don’t take off like a maniac, I drive normal, and conserve gas as best I can. I have noticed lately that my gas milage is only like 20 mpg at BEST. I got an alignment (they showed me the papers, they had all tires to .01, almost perfect), my car still does pull to the left (The car was in an accident with its previous owner and I believe the body of the car or frame is bent), checked my tire pressure, its perfect. Tires have around 15k miles on them, normal wear, nothing big.
I noticed recently that my gas mileage is terrible!! I don’t know if it’s just because it’s the winter or what, but it has to change; my 98 Taurus got better gas mileage.
I was thinking maybe my car was arcing out, but I don’t notice any hesitation when I’m driving; OEM plugs and wires on the car….
any ideas?
Thanks!
Also, I just had my air filter changed, and I use synthetic oil only in my car and that is fine as well.

If you know of a specific truck, I’d really like some ideas on what kind of truck to get! (I want a truck because I don’t like cars.)
-not too hard on the gas.
-won’t be hauling stuff.
-older the better. I like old fashioned trucks.
I’m just worried that the older they get, the more likely I’ll be without an AC and getting stuck. and the less gas conserving they’ll be.

i have a 91 honda accord with 178,000 miles
and its supposed to get 374/476 miles on a whole tank, but i find it really hard to get even 300 on one tank driving in the city
mostly, i don’t accelerate very hard to conserve gas
i know the car is old and that’s why the fuel economy is down, but what parts can i replace to help make it better?
tune up, oil change, air filter, and timing were all done recently

We’ve all heard of E85, 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline. Some states currently run E10, most recently California. Minnesota passed an E20 mandate but has yet to get the ok from the EPA. I’ve heard a person gets the best mileage with E30. If so, why not mandate E30 eventually? If I were to pump 20 total gallons into my fuel tank, 13 gal. gasoline & 7 gal. E85 to make E30, adjusting the equation in states currently blending ethanol, how would that effect my vehicle mileage, engine mechanics, and performance? Is the EPA testing for E20 and E30?

I’m addicted to cruise control when I drive. Is it good or bad for conserving gas?

Didn’t know if maybe a K&N intake system would work better than a Supertchip, and do they even make a chip of some sort for gas saving on my 4.0L Mercury Mountaineer. Everything advertised talks about better horsepower or better torque, not really concerned about that right now.
