| 65 is a more reasonable and efficient speed. Every rig I've ever driven got better around 63/65 than at 55. Cars, trucks, semis etc.

| I agree, I think 65 would be fair enough and WOULD help a lot to be sure...IF people actually do it that is. Guess the police would be really busy and make some good $$$ too, LOL. I thought it was funny where some states are adding a fuel surcharge to tickets, LOL. Guess it makes sense as they have to spend a LOT of gas running around all day long. One thing is for sure...75mph SUCKS the needle down pretty darn fast!

| I liked driving 70Mph in my truck... It seemed to be a very comfortable speed for me.. This is not a answer to the fuel issue.. another dumb ideal from our government.. I seen a statistic the other day how much this would save in fuel (total) and it was very low... basically you could get almost the same gain by just keeping your tires properly filled and rotated.. Do you really think that driving 55 mph will lower fuel cost? Another country like China would just buy the oil that we did not use and the fuel price would stay the same... This is what you get from government millionaires who are living far from reality... |
