Turning lead to gold

In all of history of alchemy , turning lead into gold has been the holly grail. Even Newton dabble around that idea. What Newton and alike did not have to make this come true, was a internal combustion engine, simply put they did not drive. but you do.
I have been turning lead into gold for a long while now. The recipe is simple, take that darn lead foot of ours, lighted it a bit and enjoy your gold, or in this case your savings. I used to drive to work on the freeway at about 70 to 75 mph. When gas got pricey, I slowed down to about 60 mph. The results are as follow. On a full tank, I used to get 286 miles at 70 to 75 mph before the "idiot" light came on. Now by driving at around 60 mph I get about 380 miles per full tank... Turning a lead foot into gold? Works for me.
This is my personal experience with my vehicle result may vary. I also have a stick shift and do lots of coastings when possible. Beside, by lowering your speed, you will avoid the possibility of getting a ticket. Now that is good savings.
