Driving faster can actually increase your vehicles fuel consumption so instead of saving any fuel you'll actually be using more fuel even though you'll be getting to your destination faster.

It's best to drive at the speed limit and if possible keep just a bit below the speed limit to help with your fuel consumption.

The further you press down on your gas pedal the more gasoline your engine will use.
