It may be too obvious, but speed is a major factor in fuel economy. Our
Prius has a fuel economy display, and while it showed barely 40 mpg at 75
mph on a recent trip; when we came to 65 mph roads the economy was much
closer to 50 mpg.

You are driving 160 miles; at 75 mph that takes 2 hours and 8 minutes. At 65
mph it takes 20 minutes longer. If you get 30 mpg at 75 mph and 35 mpg at 65
mph you burn 5 1/3 gallons at 75 mph and 4 1/2 gallons at 65 mph. The
question is: at what speed is the time worth more than the money?

Beyond that, find out how much air you really can put in your tires.
Obviously you can't exceed the maximum inflation on the sidewall, but often
the inflation called for is the minimum for the rated load of the vehicle.
Higher pressures mean a harsher ride but less rolling resistance.
