Would we conserve more fuels and have the same level of whatever if we moved subterranean?

Earle W asked:
Within a deep well or cavity, water is under greater pressure from the column of air that fell in after the cavity was formed. So it boils higher than 100 C 212 F down in the hole. Would this be a better society of energy consumers if thermodynamics of open container liquids boiled slightly higher than on the surface? Would it help if the higher oxygen pressures in air burned hydrocarbons with a hotter flame?

I know some of you out there don’t remember this, but at one time there was a 55 mph speed limit in the USA. Did that curb gasoline consumption at the time? I know it wouldn’t be cool not to be driving at 70 or 75 mph. But, I would bet if people were a little easier on the gas peddle their mileage would go up. No focus groups needed, just a little common sense.

Does it save gas in the car if you run the fan without the air being conditioned for coolness or heat?

Tim asked:
I’m trying to figure out what is the best option to save gas in the car.
I’ve heard that driving with the A/C on burns 15% of used gas. But does this apply to just the fan running?

Haven’t read anything in depth on current alternate-fuel developments, and I’m just wondering which fuel options have the most potential to be widely used in cars say 5 years from now.
