I'll give it a try...but no promises lol.
Just assuming your commute speed dropped from 70 miles/hr to 60 miles/hr, you would "lose" just a little over 3 1/2 minutes. Set your alarm 3 1/2 minutes earlier. Problem solved.

If you want to get really crazy, you could lose 15-20 seconds more and go 55 MPH. That would mean setting your alarm 3 minutes and 45 seconds earlier.

Tough call.



EDIT: P.S. The difference in MPG in my car from 70 miles/hr to 55 miles/hr is around *****20*****
Just throwing that out there.
