Thank God Warner is on his way out. Vote for a RINO and this is what you get.

Obama scares/disgusts me so much I might actually vote for McCain (can't believe I'm thinking about that). I think McCain will win. If he does, he's cut from the same cloth as Nixon (philosophically, if not morally). I fear for the country if McCain wins. I fear more if McCain loses.

All you need to know about Obama is that Jimmah Cahtah is cheering Obama on. It's Carter's only chance to avoid going down in history as the worst U.S. president ever.

The only time I drive 55 is in a 35.

Why stop at 55? Why not set the national speed limit at 30? Or maybe 25.

Then you could recycle most of the speed limit signs around the country, too, since the same limit would be imposed everywhere.

Or maybe we should make it 15 MPH, so we can recycle those school zone signs, too.

Doesn’t matter to me. I rarely drive over 50 anyway.

Warner, who is not running for re-election this year, wrote to U.S. Secretary of Energy Sam Bodman, asking "at what speed is the typical vehicle traveling on America's highways today most fuel efficient?"

The peak of the power curve for my Blazer is at 2100 rpm. Depending on the size tires I have on at the time that is 65 to 70 mph.

Sorry Warner, find somthing else to go out on.

No, I would not drive 55. I don’t adhere to 70 now.

I regularly drive Interstates..including a regular trip of about 70 miles.On these trips I set my cruise at 62 instead of 70 (my previous cruising speed on Interstates).Doing this gets me,according to my trip computer,34 MPG as opposed to 30 MPG.Arriving 10 minutes later on the 70 mile trip is worth the extra mileage to me...not because I'm devastated by higher gas prices but because I want to send less $$$ to psychopaths in Venezuela,Iran,etc.

If I wanted to drive 55 I wouldn’t have bought a sports coupe.

Anyone who wants to drive 55 can already voluntarily do so.

If I recall, it didn’t bring down gas prices in the 70s either. These idiots don’t really remember because they have chauffers to drive them and they CAN’T GET A TICKET (ask any Kennedy).

One thing that did happen after the national speed limit was set to 55 was that we had gas rationing. Odd/even, blah, blah. Worked really well didn’t, Warner?

I didn’t drive 55 when it was the law years ago. I don’t see that changing now.

And with the stroke of a pen we become a nation of law-breakers. This will turn into nothing but a revenue creator for the highway patrol.

actually, the states were still free to tell the feds to pound salt and a couple of them did.

The posted speed limit on highways in the urban Chicago area is 55 anyway. ( go only 55 and a trucks will eat your lunch)

A reinstatement of the 55 mph speed limit will induce a depression. The productivity loss will more than offset any possible gain in fuel usage.

Business will flounder. Jobs will be lost.

Most of my driving is in town, so it would not have much impact. The one time I drove on I-20 to Dallas, I got the best gas mileage ever going around 70.

Sure, I’d drive 55...for a few moments as I accelerate to 85.
