This article in the NYT (or here)
describes how the idea of driving at 55 mph is catching speed in this country. A few days ago I heard/read somewhere that because a lot of people are already driving slower - number of fatal accidents on the highways have come down rapidly.
What will it take for most if not everyone to remove there foot off the gas pedal? A law? So be it.
Here is a chart of the optimum speed at which you get the maximum gas mileage for your vehicle.
There is also a website dedicated to driving at 55 mph! (www.drive55.org)
