Re: 55 saves lives. That's a crock of horse manure! Some people are so incompetent they can kill at any speed. More people are killed EVERY year on American highways than during ALL the years of the Vietnam War (approx 50K me think?) Re: 55 saves gas. That's an even bigger crock! Engines are most efficient when working at or near their torque peak, be it 30 mph road speed or 90. My Bunny regularly gets better mileage at 80 than at 60 (28-29 mpg), and I won't even mention fifty-whot? Au "Banzai" Nguyen ..!hou2h!an
