If people can drive 70 they’re likely to drive 75 or even 80 and they won’t really equate that to saving money on their gas costs. As long as you’re not being a pain driving in the fast lane doing 55 just ignore them and save yourself some coin by driving slower.

Not only does going the speed limit save on gas, but it keeps you from getting a ticket. Tickets aren’t cheap, and can increase your insurance, too. I would be all for 55, except maybe for large, multi-lane, intersate freeways.

I don’t know if they will ever be able to repeal he national speeding limit to 55 mph. It’s sort of like taking away high speed internet and telling people they have to live with dial-up I agree that driving 55 has a lot of advantages, including safety.
