It depends on the car...

That depends on you. I average, over the past 10 years, about 20000
miles per year...

So, let's say 20000/30 = 667 gallons, 20000/35 = 571 Gallons.
Difference is 96 Gallons. 96*5 = $480 per year, or $40/month.

It's not all about money. Some people also feel a responsibility to
conserve resources (clearly I am not one, since my car isn't nearly
that good on fuel)...

Not necessarily. Only if that is your criteria...

Even $40/month is a substancial savings for some folks...
