If the truckers want to drive 65, they are free to do so....in the RIGHT lane, which was put there specifically for that purpose.
They need not lobby to bring all other drivers to the slowest common denominator.
In particular, they and anybody else who wishes to drive slower should not impose on all others by driving slowly in the left lane.
And, since their vehicles are usually the most poorly designed from an aerodynamic standpoint, they should take advantage of considerable research into aero improvements of their trucks, which would get them substantial increases in fuel economy.
If Congress is to mandate fuel savings, it should start with mandating tax incentives for aero improvements, better driving habits, and, yes, proper inflation of tires.
