this country was built on freedoms. If I want to waste gas and spend money I have the freedom to do so if I choose. Just because you want to save a few bucks and honestly over the course of a year how much more money are you currently spending then you were a year ago. $1,000 - $2,000 more per year. Here's a way to save that money if you smoke stop smoking all those packs of cigarettes at $6 a pack will save you the difference. If you drink coffee from starbucks stop drinking coffee at $3.00 a cup that will make up the difference. People are bitching about the cost of gas and I agree it sucks that it increase SO fast so quickly but there is nothing that is going to curtail the cost immediately so cut back on other things.
Like so many times already stated dropping the speed limit will not stop people from speeding. It will however give police more targets to pull over and collect their money. If you want to do 55 and sit in the right lane then by all means go there, be happy and save your precious gas. Otherwise, do the speed limit which thankfully is 65 in most parts of NJ or a little faster within reason up to I'd say 75. If you are driving over 75 you're probably a douche bag weaving in and out of traffic and hopefully you'll hit a pot hole spin out, crash and die but that is just a dream I have which includes most motorcyclists too but thats another rant.
Either way don't tell me I have to drive slow to save you a buck or two which won't even happen because as much as we are trying to be good here all the 3rd world countries who are now making money are burning fuel like it's going out of style which it is and they don't care about conservation. India, China these countries are growing like you can't imagine. What this planet needs is another plague to drop our number down DRASTICALLY, that will slow down our demand on oil. LOL
