oh and most people these days aren't driving big v8s and such, so they will see better gas mileage but we won't. deal with being a minority!

Idiots will keep driving as fast as they do now, no matter the speed limit. They are also a minority just like the people who drive cars with big engines. And as far as its "dangerous" to not keep up with the flow of traffic, I have personally driven 35 (thats thirty five)MPH on route I-80 East for extended period of time, and look I'm still here typing! I have also noticed from this summer, while visiting my girlfriend in Central, that people drive A LOT slower. If used to do 80 mph on the parkway I would get passed like no tomorrow, now I do 75ish and I pass 80 - 85% of the people on the road, people DO know about lower speeds and increased mpg, some of them just choose not to drive it. Lowering speed limits will only increase your fine when you are traveling at the comfy speed of 75, which will lend you 4 points on your license, and insurance surcharges for the next few year + some revenue for the town you were cough in. If YOU want do drive 60 or 65, do so, like I said NO ONE will stop you. I want to keep cruising at 75...
