Our wonderful elected officials are looking out for us again. They're making noise about bringing back the national 55MPH limit again.

This move may not bring gas back to $1.99 a gallon, but think of all the traffic fines and insurance surcharge money there is to be made from John Q Public.
I didn't know that it was that old man Warner said this.Time to go home John and watch alittle TV. We don't need Liz Taylor ex husband telling us what we should do.
Senator John Warner (R-VA) - elected in 1978 - recently expressed interest in the idea of a national speed limit to conserve gasoline. Warner, who is not running for re-election this year, wrote to U.S. Secretary of Energy Sam Bodman, asking "at what speed is the typical vehicle traveling on America's highways today most fuel efficient?"
I'd wager this guy lets his chauffeur sit in his over-sized limo/Suv, with it idling, while he's in meetings. Gotta lotta balls, doncha' think?

The other day my wife and I had to go downtown (shudder) and I did the limit all the way (60 then 55). Boy did I **** off a bunch of people!
