| Backseat Driver: Toyota's sales forecast is sobering »
ALBANY, N.Y. -- As other cars zipped by at 70 mph or more, Mike Papin and his wife, Joann, kept rolling along just below the 65 mph limit as they made their way from their winter home in Florida to a summer place in Vermont, according to the Associated Press. They've typically done six or seven miles above the speed limit during the annual migration, but with gasoline prices roaring toward $4 a gallon nationally, Joann suggested they ease off the pedal during the 1,500-mile drive this year. "I read somewhere that around 62 or 63 was the best speed to drive to make the most of your gas," she said.
