There’s a lot of truth to the old adage that “speed kills.” Last year, excessive speed was a factor in about one-third of Wisconsin traffic fatalities. But there is another good reason to slow down. Motorists who exceed the speed limit or drive too fast for conditions not only risk getting a costly speeding citation, but also waste a considerable amount of fuel and money. Gas mileage decreases rapidly at speeds over 55 mph. It’s estimated that a person speeding by 10 mph will waste nearly 150 gallons of fuel per year and cost themselves over $500 with the current prices.
