Like I mentioned before, that depends on the driver and change in mileage. For some people it may not be worthwhile economically, but for others it is. It depends on the situation. If I'm making $30/hour it's probably not worthwhile to spend more time driving in my Prius and only save a few bucks per hour unless I like driving way more than I like working. If I'm making minimum wage otoh, it's probably economically sound to slow down in my sedan that gets ~20mpg even if I like working more than I like driving. If you're unemployed, shoot, even a few bucks an hour makes a difference.
