I voted no ... here's why;
I feel that highway driving is not the biggest coulprit to wasting fuel, city driving is. And until drive thrus and bank tellers are abolished along with properly managed and timed traffic intersections, there is no point to try and curve highway speeds.
Next, as it has been said, as newer cars hit the road they are capable of higher speeds at greater efficiency. Also it is still our choice as to how we drive these automobiles, until you break the law and are told otherwise.
Perhaps a signage system that indicates fuel savings per speed may encourage some to read and slow down, but that is as far as I am willing to conceed. The signs could post 70mph Speed limit, then underneath say 65 gain 10%FE, 60 gain 20%FE, 55 gain 30% FE.
I love driving 55mph now and hate it when three or four others are doing 55 or 54.5 or unsteady 55-57, which makes it impossible to drive, or set cruise control to those driving slowly.
