lol, the guy even admits that it would only save 2% of highway fuel usage, but tries to paint '167 thousand barrels' as a lot, which is apparently worth restricting peoples driving habits artificially whilst creating more aggressive driving. then they come up and state that the 55 mph limit saved thousands of lives a year, which is nonsense considering only a few percent of accidents are on the highway at all.

Didn't they try that once already?

And didn't it fail miserably?

The state speed limit in NY is 55.  I saw it's about the same in other states.  On the highway to travel down the east coast of america it was about 70 miles per hour.

I don't remember what the interstate is.  I know on all highways it's 55 and I have seen 50 some places too.
