Fuel Efficiency Explained: Why Every MPH Matters

Above highway speeds, every single mile per hour matters. In this video, Paul Mages, Fuel Manager at Bay & Bay, talks about how speed affects fuel efficiency. He explains that for every 1 MPH increase, it can cost about one-tenth of a mile per gallon (MPG). Over the course of a year, that small difference can add up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars in fuel costs. You’ll learn: Why every 1 MPH above highway speeds reduces MPG How a 0.1 MPG change can be worth up to $1,000 per year Why the most fuel-efficient speed isn’t always practical How slowing down is a tool drivers can always use to save fuel While there’s no single “perfect” speed to drive, one thing is always true: The slower you go, the less fuel you burn. This is a simple, practical way to improve driving efficiency when you need to squeeze out extra savings.
