Car Fuel Economy and the 55 MPH speed limit

KT;
No one wants to see or be involved in a car crash, but I think about how a crash at 60mph today is usually left with survivors. Then I compare to the cars we drove up till the early seventies with no seat belts, air bags, etc. that a crash at 60 was usually a pretty grizzly deal.

Car Fuel Economy and the 55 MPH speed limit

Frank, I'm with you. My buddies always tell me they can "watch the grapes grow" when I drive. The problem is that folks never leave on time. I would rather leave 10 minutes early and then take a nice casual drive. Unfortunately my wife always has us leaving 5 minutes late.

I was actually a more more nervous driver when I was young. Reason being that now I take every legal heart, cholesterol, beta blocker drug known to mankind. So the next time you see a 60ish person barreling down the highway at 80 mph be aware of what might happen with a temporary lapse of conciousness.

From one slowpoke to another we almsot sound like medical experiment twins.
After an accident four years ago left me following a walker around and taking enough "Legal" narcotic pain meds to kill a horse I'm still not up with the what ever the speed limit is plus maybe 25 mph above. 55 is fine with me, I'm not in a hurry to get to the cemetary.
