Slow Down, Save Gas Money: Speeding Costs More Than a Ticket

Stick figure pumping gas wondering how to save money

Slow Down to Save Gas Money

It’s a fact: Slowing down, saves gas money at the pump. While it’s tempting to speed, there are good reasons to reconsider. Instead, slow down to save money (according to the U.S. Department of Energy).

Drivers know speeding can lead to tickets. Tickets cost money, time, and increase car insurance rates. Did you know, there are also other benefits of slowing down to save money? What many drivers don’t realize is that speeding also burns more fuel and increases accident risk. Fuel economy drops as speeds climb above 50 mph. That means every extra mile per hour over 50 can cost you more and you pay at the pump. In fact, in 1974 the federal government started a federal 55 mph speed limit to save gas in response to the 1973 oil crisis.

Slow Down, Save Money

Following speed limits and driving at a steady, reasonable speed helps your vehicle run more efficiently. It also gives you more time to react to traffic, weather, and road hazards. Cruise control helps maintain a steady speed. Prevent  the long-term costs of speeding and drive safer when on the road by driving smart.

It makes sense, fuel-saving habits and safe driving often go hand in hand. Slow down instead of being in a hurry. Driving smarter and safer often means fewer claims and fewer violations on your driving record. While auto insurance rates depend on many factors, avoiding accidents and tickets help keep costs under control.
