HowStuffWorks has an excellent article that analyzes the most fuel efficient speed to drive your vehicle. We learn, among other things, that "in general, smaller, lighter, more aerodynamic cars will get their best mileage at higher speeds. Bigger, heavier, less aerodynamic vehicles will get their best mileage at lower speeds" and "for most cars, the 'sweet spot' on the speedometer is in the range of 40-60 mph."
