I mean no disrepect, but is there a poll or data that the 55 limit was a "failure"? Popularity notwithstanding, it should have decreased overall consumption. If not,
I apologize in advance, with the impending data to support.

Back to DPOV: I agree with his statement. I sacrifice my 50-mille drive by 10-15 minutes to get 40mpg vs. 26. I'll stay up that much later to maximize my "loaf" time (same with longer trips). Money vs. Time. It's how much value is placed upon it.

So, I stand up and give time back for consumption and emissions -- and I'm none the poorer. Can't we all give a little back?

For most of the populace, that answer is "no". Which is where laws step-in.
