Is 55mph making a comeback?
According to Drive55.org, you can save 20-50% on gas if you never drive over 55mph -- and get this, you don't even have to buy a miracle fuel-saving vortex machine from a late night infomercial. The Sierra Club has launched it's own I Can Drive 55 campaign, claiming that for every 10mph you drive over 60mph, it's the equivalent to paying ¢54 more per gallon -- and that was back when gas was $3.25 a gallon. I don't know if this means we'll actually see a return to federal speed limits (which were widely ignored), but maybe now when you see someone cruising along in the slow lane, you can at least understand why.
