I am a long haul trucker from Canada PDF Print E-mail
I heard one of your proponents broadcasting on the CB while I was traveling through Salina, KS a while ago. At the time I was usually doing 65mph. On XM Radio ch 171 Kevin Rutherford also encourages us to drive 55 strictly as an economic decision. I've slowed down so far to 58 mph and have seen my fuel economy go from 5.7mpg up to 6.7 mpg. I'll be trying 55 mph next and see what results I get.

Keep up the good work.
