The 55 mph speed limit was introduced to help save energy and resources. Most cars will lose efficiency before that point, look at some graphs already
Speed kills: testing MPH vs. MPG in top gear - MetroMPG.com
If you read the speed limit sign properly, it says (ex). 70 Max speed limit or whatever. It doesn't mean you have to drive 70, so by all means, keep on doing your 55 and wave and smile when they race by you honking their horns.

I look at speed as the way I look at guns!
Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Speed doesn't kill people, it's the person behind the wheel who makes the judgement if they are capable of driving at that speed. That's where the problem is.
Some just can't drive!!
