Perhaps I’m unusual but I am only speeding because everyone else disregards the speed limit in my area, and it would put myself and my family at increased risk if I didn’t go with traffic.

I’d much prefer to go slower for the fuel economy.

~~The ideal speed for best fuel economy really depends on the type of car you drive. Many sports cars get better fuel economy at 75MPH rather than 55MPH.~~

Source?

I just posted an update under another comment asking for source information. TLDR: none.
