It's not relegated to Missouri.

Just drop the speed limit back to 55. Save energy and save lives...

How about you drive 55 yourself and shut the **** up?

If I do that, I become a road hazard like all the old people that can barely see through the steering wheel...

The 55 mph speed limit had very little, if any, benefit irt saving fuel and lives in the 20 years it was implemented. It was a waste of time the first go around that was widely ignored by motorists and the states.

You know what did have significant impacts on both of those things? Advancements in engineering and design that not only makes cars more efficient than they were in 1975 when the law was enacted, but much more safer. Dropping the highway speed limits won't make cars burn less gas, and in some cases where cars are engineered to be more efficient at speeds higher than 55 mph, would actually make them burn more.

Lol. Let me know when the price drops about 3.00/gal, THEN you can talk to us about "good news".

Most fuel usage is overcoming wind resistance which goes up exponentially as speed increases. I disagree... But science and stuff...

Wikipedia is not my favorite place however for some things a fairly good source...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_%28physics%29

Going twice the speed requires 8 time the power... Driving into a headwind should give you better fuel economy, right?

Right, and have you looked at how angular most cars are these days? Even SUVs are rounded off and designed to cut through the air resistance better.

I’m just going by my own experience with my car, a 2015 Mustang GT, that I mostly drive on highways. My mileage is best in the 70-80 mph range.

There's just no pleasing you people.

Cars are designed to get better fuel economy at higher speeds than in the 70's.

You mean compared to a lower speed?
