Hi!

Nixon proposed a 45 mph National Speed Limit as the most efficient. Congress wanted 65 mph, so they compromised.

I WOULD like a new National Speed Limit at whatever the most efficient speed would be for America. I would like to know how many barrels of oil we could save per day, and wonder if it would be enough to stablize the price, and for what period of time?

I believe that enforcing more standardization in the manufacturing of drive-trains could increase a National Speed Limit even further, as more vehicles would be able to be more efficient closer to the National Speed Limit.

I am tired of Americans sending our money over to Saudis who are funding Muslim terrorists who want to kill us.
