There's no right answer for this situation however I don't agree with lowering the speed limit. I doubt many people will change their driving habits and it'll be a ticket magnet. I choose to do 68-ish on the highway because that's where the sweet spot on the 'vette is for gas mileage.

This is just another reactionary idea due to the gas prices. I'd rather see the gas tax get dropped for a bit, something a certain group of people don't want to do yet didn't pay for said gas tax in Denver, just saying...

I'd LOVE to see people on the the major highways in CA, some roads in NY and in Texas adhere to a 55mph speed limit....not happening lol
