  Car Fuel Economy and the 55 MPH speed limit

I'd like to know who that "someone" was who advocated a return to 55. If he/she was a politician it was more likely an excuse to raise revenue through traffic tickets. The hypocritical, double dealing politicians here in Oregon want 55 everywhere *except* between Portland and Salem. That's the route that most of them take to get to work.

With traffic deaths at an all time low it seems that lowering the speed limit to save lives is a total red herring. If you want to save lives then eat your veggies, quit the red meat, exercise, and stay off the roads. No doubt soon the government will use coercion to socially engineer exactly that behavior by taxing the crap out of anyone who wants a burger.

Frank, no offense taken. I worded my response poorly and didn't mean to address it to you personally, just the collective "you" as in "anyone".

My frustration comes from the government looking for any reason to raise taxes and socially reengineer society rather than to leave people the heck alone. As Ben Franklin said, "Those who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety".

And next time I hear "it's for the children" I'm gonna puke. There is nothing more shameful than wielding children as a weapon to bludgeon people into giving up money, freedom, and a way of life that has proven to work.
