Speeding saves drivers just 54 seconds daily, study finds

A recent study analyzing over 120 million car trips in the U.S. has found that speeding saves drivers only about 54 seconds on average per day. The research, published in Nature Communications Sustainability, indicates that adhering to speed limits could save American drivers approximately $22 million daily in fuel costs and reduce fuel consumption by 6.7 million gallons. This reduction in fuel usage would also significantly cut down on planet-warming emissions, comparable to removing millions of passenger vehicles from the road. AI
