Cutting down a few mph on the highway increases my gas mileage ~10%. I drive 500 miles a week, so that adds up pretty quick.
I am in the same boat as you Chip. I drive 85 miles a day and my wife over 120 miles day, transfers to 1025 miles a week for my wife and I. We are currently trying to sell our house, hopefuly abit will come soon otherwise we are going to be putting it up for rent. We have no chance of carpooling and also no chance of using public transortation. last month spent over $1,300 in gas! Two cars that get over 30 miles a gallon.
