But if so, it's a singularly inept conspiracy, because the same speed limits apply to EVs :-) Though that might be a nice marketing campaign for Tesla &c: get states to repeal speed limits (or set higher ones) on EVs.
Anyway, if saving gas is the goal, consider that a 55 mph speed limit (if enforced) reduces fuel consumption by IIRC about 5%. Building cars that get 70 mpg at 70 mph (which is perfectly doable) would reduce it by more than 60%.
