A national 55pph speed limit can lead to real savings now. I can get behind this because I know driving slower works. I drive a 1996 Land Rover Discovery with a V8. When tested back in '96 they said that it would get 13 mpg in the city and 16 mpg in the highway. I average just over 15 mpg and 19.6 on longer highway trips like I did to Disneyland 3 days ago...with 4 people in the car!
It sure beats the hell out of a few other .orgs that are trying to get me to pressure congress for electric cars and alt-fuels. Congress has never produced a single car or a drop of fuel. That is the job of business and markets, I mean if you don't want a $2,000,000 car that is half as good...LOL!
Now laws...that they do all day long. Let's have the 55 speed limit!
