Energy Efficiency: Potential Fuel Savings Generated by a National Speed Limit Would Be Influenced by Many Other Factors on 2008-11-20
- In response to the request, we reviewed existing literature and consulted knowledgeable stakeholders on the following: (1) What is the relationship between speed and the fuel economy of vehicles? (2) How might reducing the speed limit affect fuel use?
- there is no single speed that optimizes fuel economy for all vehicles
- 12 more annotations...
- - peed that optimizes fuel economy for all vehicles. Optimal speed for fuel economy for individual vehicles ranges widely, but is generally between 30 and 60 mph, depending on a vehicle's characteristics. However, a vehicle's fuel economy also depends on other factors besides air resistance. Factors that enhance
  - electronic and computer controls,
  - engine efficiency enhancement
  - transmissions, and hybrid technology
  - offset by increases in vehicle weight, performance, and accessory loads.
  - Lowering speed limits can potentially reduce total fuel consumption
  - consistent with estimates of the impact of the past national speed
  - 175,000 to 275,000 barrels of oil per day
  - rivers' compliance with a reduced speed limit
  - Moreover, a national speed limit would not affect many of the miles driven in the United States, such as those in urban areas, where most vehicles are already traveling at lower speeds due to lower speed limits or congestion
  - weather conditions
  - road conditions
