Best cruising speed for fuel efficiency

I would like to know the optimum speed to use for the least fuel consumption in a Toyota Corolla (2000).

Equally, are there things I need to do generally to lower fuel consumption while driving.

Probably about 55mph, unless there is a truck behind you, in which case 65.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.

Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
