I'm not totally unfavorable to a 70 MPH speed limit, even though it does adversely affect fuel-efficiency. Anyway, though I'm not an eco-nazi, I understand that a relatively lower speed is advantageous on that matter too, not just because of the lower emissions out of the tailpipe but also due to the fewer energy spent on oil drilling, refining and the supply to the fuel stations.
