I would modify this article to say something like this :

Quote:
According to statistics, at $3 per gallon, you'll pay an additional 20 cents per gallon of gas for every five miles per hour you drive your V8 over 60 mph. Ease on and off the gas if you want to make it last.
I only assumed V8 because it's a NASCAR article.

I agree that managing fuel economy in big races can be the key to winning. Avoiding that extra pit stop and/or adding "just enough" gas to win is crucial.
