One tip is that drivers should obey the speed limit since the fuel economy of most vehicles decreases above 50 mph [80 km/h]. ORNL staff members John Thomas, Shean Huff and Brian West have worked to quantify this trend through analysis of dynamometer testing results for 74 vehicles at steady-state speeds from 50 to 80 mph [80 to 129 km/h].
