So then maybe having an (enforced) 55 limit would discourage people from using personal vehicles for 2000 mile trips.
Its good to hear to stay below the limit even on long trips, but perhaps a better alternative would be the train for long vacations. Not only better for the environment / national energy security, but you also don't have to drive. At 30mpg, you spend the same on fare as you would on gas (almost to the dollar, $243) but no added maintenance to the car.
Seeing the sites is good too. I found travel by bicycle was really good for that.
