Not only would lower speeds save money by giving better gas mileage, but
crash rates on highways would drop too meaning lower insurance and taxes.
But the idiot american staring bankruptcy in the face still says no way!!!

The idiot generation knows now that many cars have been made to get
their best MPG at speeds near and sometimes over 70 MPH unlike older
cars that got their best MPG at around 45 MPH. Thus, we would be
using MORE FUEL not LESS if we reduce the traffic speeds.

DON'T LISTEN TO MADD and other nutty orgs filled with people who have
nothing to do but advocate some Neanderthal legislation.

By the way, does someone have a gun to YOUR head making you drive the
speed limit?

All cars get better mileage at 50 than at 70. Ever hear of wind
resistance, you moron?

No proof of that.

Not guaranteed by any means.

Ever hear of running an engine at less than optimum efficiency, you moron ? Lightly
loaded engines are not operating in an efficient regime.

Actually that's the very worst mpg it can get (stopped in traffic). ZERO mpg.

If you (and others who feel they are being pinched by current fuel
prices) choose to drive in the right lane at 55 MPH, you are welcome
to do so. I don't know of any state which has a MINIMUM Speed Limit
that is over 55 MPH.

I question your need to legislate this, even if you were right about
the gas mileage issue. You can drive at a speed that you believe is
both safe and frugal without insisting that others do likewise, can't
you?

This is a country that offers freedom of choice on a large number of
issues. By and large, people can own and drive the vehicle of their
choice, from the thriftiest small car to the most wastefully huge SUV,
regardless of its fuel mileage.

On a 3,000 mile cross-country journey, the difference between 55 MPH
and 65 MPH is more than 8 hours. This costs the 55 MPH driver an
extra hotel-night, which may more than offset any fuel savings.
