(I think Mr Horton want to see this kind of stuff in net.auto
instead of net.followup.)

Re: 55 saves lives. That's a crock of horse manure! Some people
are so incompetent they can kill at any speed. More people are
killed EVERY year on American highways than during ALL the years
of the Vietnam War (approx 50K me think?)

Re: 55 saves gas. That's an even bigger crock! Engines are most
efficient when working at or near their torque peak, be it 30
mph road speed or 90. My Bunny regularly gets better mileage
at 80 than at 60 (28-29 mpg), and I won't even mention fifty-whot?
