one interesting fact I've learned: a 787 actually flies a bit slower than a 707. it saves fuel (hence, money) and most people don't notice a few percent difference in speed given all of the other changes in the flying experience. https://simpleflying.com/boeing-707-vs-787-dreamliner/
True! Budget airlines also employ the strategy of flying slower, even using the same aircraft. When jet fuel costs make up a large part of the plane ticket price, flying a little slow makes quite a difference.
Great article Tanner! I LIKE driving slower - less stress and less quick decisions to make! It's also helpful to know about EV range and speeds when you own one! Ruby is doing fine by the way.

This was great. Also, would love if the US had slower, long distance, high quality, non airplane travel options
