You don't necessarily have to drive "slow" to get good gas mileage. I typically drive 5 over the limit. Just maintain a light foot in getting TO that speed.

Another trick you can do (this is a version of "pulse and glide" and takes advantage of "DFCO"... look it up!) is to simply take your foot completely off the gas for 2-3 seconds anytime you can. You'll lose 3-5 mph. Maintain your light foot getting back up to speed. On my typical city drive of 20-miles or so, each time I pull off the gas for 3 seconds, I gain about .1 mpg (so says the ScanGauge) for the trip.

Coast to stoplights. Anticipate them enough that you can coast, never touch the brakes AND never come to a complete stop if you can. If you maintain 20 mph, that's 20 mph you don't have to accelerate back up to!

"Driving like grandpa" was mentioned. Driving slowly does not necessarily equate to driving efficiently. If you hammer the gas to get up to 40 mph, then tailgate every car you come across so that you have to almost come to a stop every time someone else needs to make a turn (and then accelerate again!), you're driving inefficiently! You could drive 5, even 10 mph faster, if you can MAINTAIN that speed, and get better MPG by driving more efficiently.

Good luck!
