I too seem to have gotten off topic with this particular subject. We were talking about speed limits.

If we all understand that life is faster paced than 30 years ago, then it is safe to assume that there should be a higher speed limit. We have safer cars than 30 years ago, we have more (arguably) fuel efficient cars than 30 years ago, we should be able to go faster than 30 years ago.

If people want to have speed limits in the 75 MPH range, I have no problem with it. The only stipulation I would make if we increase the speed limits, we require the auto makers to make taller final gears and have a maximum aerodynamic drag they have to meet, so it optimizes fuel economy at 75 MPH. That would solve the MPG problem, and we would satisfy the lead feet out there. Sorry Auto manufacturers, you are S.O.L. again.
