55 Sux ! I blame a lot of this left lane banditing on the old 55 mph limit. It has been gone for 11 years, a bad idea when brought in 1974 and just as bad today !

My fuel economy increases by between 20 and 25 percent when I drive at 55 as opposed to 65+ (that is on highways where the speed limit is 55 - most drivers are driving at 65+ despite the posted 55). Boy, the dirty looks I get as I drive the posted limit. I’m not in that much of a hurry, sorry. I have better things to spend my hard earned dollars on then making a few oil men rich (too bad more people don’t realize this).
