If we all slowed down to the speed limit, we would drive the price of oil down to $50 a barrel again in a couple months.

45 to 50 mile commute each way, almost all highway, 2008 Toyota Yaris generally getting 380 to 400 miles between fill-ups
Cruise control at 65 mph get 37.5 to 38 mpg
Cruise control at 70 mph get 34 to 35 mpg
In one tankful, doing 65 most of the time but drafting close (aka tailgating) to big trucks (usually doing 70 to 75 mph) for 30 to 40 miles of the tankful 40.5 mpg
