Does driving slower save gas?

1.15K views

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?

Specifics will vary by vehicle, but in general, at higher speeds, cars generally start becoming less efficient. This can be especially noticeable at above 70-80mph in my experience.
