My commute is 50 miles each way, 5 days a week. Going 60 vs 70, I spend an extra 86 hours behind the wheel each year. That's 10 minutes each way.

That may seem like a lot of wasted time, but considering I just watched 4 cat videos on YouTube, I think there are plenty of other things we can eliminate that are less productive than driving slower to save fuel. I know I save time, but honestly the challenge of getting good gas mileage is worth it (plus I save some $$).
