Answer 1

1 mph under what the police will pull you over for.

Answer 2

55 MPH is the best speed to drive at. Check out www.aaa.com

Answer 3

55-60 mph is optimal, any higher and gas consumption increases by 20%.

Answer 4

See if its in the owner's manual. I used to have a buick and it said right out of the owner's manual that the most fuel efficient speed was 80 something km/h on straight and level road.

Some manuals will tell you, others won't. That should be the first place to look though.
