Huh? Where'd you get that figure?

Its the difference between the time saved and the fuel burned. If I
spend 5 hours a week commuting but cut that in half by driving twice as
fast, I might double my fuel cost. That's $45 more. But if I save 2.5
hours at $200 per hour, I'm still money ahead.

Someone would have to make $18 an hour to break even with the above
example. Poor people should drive slowly, rich people fast. Please keep
right as I pass.
