Very true. My daughter and I drove from Montgomery, AL to Biloxi, MS. It's pretty much flat both ways. She drove down at 80 mph, used 12+ gallons to go 260 miles, and got 21.45 mpg in her Dodge Grand Caravan. I drove back on 9+ gallons, and got 26 mpg, simply driving 62 mph. It doesn't seem like that much, but she was throwing away 25% of her gas.
