#1 best thing ever - cruise control. letting the computer take care of minimizing your speed changes lets the driver look further down the road at traffic patterns, stop lights, etc.
one thing i'm gonna try - bumping down the speed on uphills and bumping up the speed on downhills. like with a target speed of 65, climbing the hill at 60, and going down the hill at 70, and cruising at 65. doesn't exactly make up for the time difference, but it's something new to try.
another note about time - though going slower clearly saved me gas, going faster clearly saved me time. i think that for shorter trips, i'll go slower to save gas because the difference in time really isnt that great. but for looong trips, i think i'll pay the extra couple bucks to get there faster.
