According to studies backed by the department of energy, the average car will be at its advertised MPG at 55 mph. But as the speed increases: - 3% less efficient at 60 mph. - 8% less efficient at 65 mph.
The accident rate is .13 ACC/MVM for the past five years, and the 10 mph pace is 35 to 44 mph. This roadway segment has a low accident rate and the upper limit of the 10 mph pace is consistent with the critical speed; therefore, there is no justification for reducing the recommended speed limit.
