I thought we were supposed to be trying to lower our dependence on foreign oil.
If so, why are we increasing speeds which usually increases gas consumption?
Then mandate smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles and diesel engines. Get rid of the crazy diesel emissions standards and use the European standards which will open up our market to lots of new vehicles with great fuel mileage. Don't try and sell us lower speed limits under the guise of safety when it's really about revenue generation.
