When I first started driving I drove slow bc I thought it would save gas, then I started driving faster when a friend told me you use the same amount of gas whether you drive slow or fast (as long as it’s the same distance), you just would be driving fast for a shorter amt of time and driving slow for a longer amt of time, but at the end you burner thru the same amount of gas. Is this true?

It *can* be true, but not always. When it comes to fuel economy, there are a bunch of factors other than just speed. For example, your car will most likely drink less gas with its engine running at 1800 RPM compared to 2300 RPM, and it’s possible to drive at a handful of different road speeds at those RPMs.
