How about this, Senator Warner...
I’ll pay for my own gas, and in return I get to drive however fast I want...

That’s fine Warner but you better stay out of the high speed lane on 95.

Lower fuel consumption by trucking firms and motorists will increase national fuel supplies, which, at least theoretically, should nudge gas and diesel prices lower. So, let me get this straight...
Lowering demand will lower prices, but increasing supplies will have no effect on prices...
Have I got that right?

If 55 saves gas and is more safe, then 50 would be even better. Right?

I can drive 55 in a 40. Heck it’s Houston, we all do.

Let those that "feel" they are doing the world a favor drive 55.

Lowering speed limits increases CONTROL,
increasing supply increases FREEDOM.
That’s all you need to know when it comes to understanding their reasoning.

Blowhard that I am, I’ve recently mentioned in several conversations that high fuel prices don’t mean doodley-squat until drivers begin to slow down to save. People driving 70 mph and complaining about oil companies don’t impress me. I bumble into work using just enough gas in 5th gear to prevent pinging. Lotsa people pass me, but I get 30 mpg out of my beat-up old Taurus and I hit fewer deer. Win-win for me!

Driving at even a few miles per hour less than 65 mph increases the fuel efficiency of vehicles and reduces gas and diesel consumption.Utter Balderdash, "ll generalizations are dangerous, including this one"
It is different for every type of vehicle, A Lamborghi Mucielago has a different optimum fuel efficiency speed than a Nissan Sentra. It depends of torque curves, fuel consumption, and air resistance coefficients.
Having said that, I only have limited time available and fuel is only limited by my ability to purchase it.

I think I'll drive 75 in reverse. My tank will fill up!
