Optimal speed for gas mileage in most cars is between 40-60mph. That means that if you're traveling much faster than 60mph or slower than 40mph, your car is probably not operating most efficiently.
So, if you're taking an expressway and traveling at speeds of 80+mph, you're wasting gas. But also be aware that if you're taking a shorter route, but spending lots of time idling in traffic or waiting at traffic lights, you're also wasting gas.

The cut off point would have to be 100,000 Miles, that is when the car is basically ready for the scrapyard. If you get a car that's between 30-50 thousand miles, that'd be great. Anything lower would be better, but you'd probably have to pay more. More miles = Cheaper the car, more used. Less miles = More expensive, less used.
