EcoModders rejoice, tanks to similar bills passed in Quebec and Ontario, starting January 1st, 2/3 of all big rigs driven miles in Canada will be speed limited to 65 mph.

It is estimated the measure will save over 2500 gallons of diesel per truck per year, and reduce emissions by close to 400 000 tonnes per year.

That pretty much as if, for every big rig on the road, 10 cars started hypermiling.
