Given a relatively open road, equal distance, same driving skill etc.
I have heard conflicting advice from people, some saying faster, others slower. Some say it differs on fuel type such as diesel being better slower and petrol vice versa.
I used to believe in the ‘faster theory’ (via intuition) but I’m now conficted.
NB: ignore accidents or safety or being late.

I am driving around 3,000 miles on a road trip from Texas, through New Mexico and Arizona to Nevada. Are there any gas saving tips? I know it’s mostly highway mileage, but anything I can do to make my fuel use more efficient?

What is your optimum speed? I’ve found my optimum speed when not on the highway is about 42 MPH. I bring the car up to about 48 where my overdrive kicks in and then reduce to 42. My tach reads about 1300 RPM’s. On the highway, I stay at 72 MPH. That’s 2300 RPM’s. I figure a piston engined airplane optimum cruise speed is at 2300 RPM’s. I’ll do the same. The V6 Accord should get 19 and 29 MPG. I am achieving 26 and 34. I’ve found myself going an extra 100 miles per tank of gas! Try it, it works!
