One more tip, don't slow down for corners, ever. that's wasting gas. in fact, I think going faster through corners may* actually increase gas mileage.
*gets you closer to the people in front of you for better drafting...

So I also need to take 25mph corners at 55 so I can wear out my tires sooner, hear my wife scream, my dog yelp, have whatever is in the cupholders in my lap and draft the car in front of me like they are not going to brake for the curve---give up my supersize diet Dr. Pepper or suffer crotch shock, I would lose my Texas citizenship.
