Why do some Americans drive so fast? I have no idea. Want to ask some people? I can say that the faster they go, The more it costs them in fuel and safety and more - Pity the man who has a blowout at 75 MPH!

People really don't need to go over the speed limit. If they slow down they'll be less likely to hit a deer, For example and it'll cost a lot less in gas money.

I was once going the speed limit of 45 MPH or so at a place I guesstimate is about five or six miles away and some people in a corvette passed me, Speeding. About 2.3 miles later I caught up to them at a red light; I was in the second car behind them so speeding saved them no time at all but cost them more in gas money and potential safety hazards.
