One of these days, Uncle Sugar is gonna wake up and see MPG is also lower emissions per mile. As soon as we start to find it difficult to breathe, some bureaucrat in Washington will discover less speed means more MPG, which means less gasoline burned, less emissions per mile out of the tailpipe(s).
When we finally close this barn door the air quality can be blamed on the Chinese and the Indians (note the capital "I"). Then we can lament the horse long gone.... Until then, technology cannot save us from ourselves. "Ourselves" are getting more & more numerous.
