Rawze, you talked about stress. One thing I noticed years ago is when I drive my 90 kph I expect everyone to pass me, they do, and the stress level is low. A few times I was fighting my log book to get home before the hours ran out and I was up 105 - 110 kph (the speed limit near home), and everyone was still passing well above the limit which pissed me off, which resulted in high stress levels.

Watching this episode of Top Gear I realized some of the lessons Jackie Stewart is giving James May to go fast, will also apply to reducing fuel consumption. Most notably be smooth, and when coming out of a corner never push on the throttle until you know you won't have to lift.
