55 MAY BE GOOD FOR OUR COACHES, BUT THE BIG RIGS USE MORE FUEL
GOING 55. I HAD A 4 SPEED CHEVY VEGA SET UP WITH A HIGHWAY SPEED (70 MPH)
REAR END, AND WAS GETTING 30 MPG. MUCH MORE THAN WHEN I BOUGHT IT.
WHEN PRESIDENT "JIMMAY" LOWERED THE SPEED LIMIT TO 55 MPH, I COULD NO
LONGER MAKE IT UP HILLS IN FOURTH GEAR, AND HAD TO DOWN SHIFT TO THIRD,,, JUST
LIKE THE BIG TRUCKS HAD TO DO,,, AND DOWN WENT MY FUEL MILEAGE !!!
IT HELPS SOME VEHICLES TO GO SLOW, AND OTHERS CAN CRUISE AT HIGHER
SPEEDS AND DO BETTER. I CAN GET 30 MPG IN MY CORVETTE AT 70 MPH. (I USED TO
GET
36 MPG IN MY 93 VETTE)
I THINK PEOPLE WILL SLOW DOWN TO SAVE GAS IF IT WORKS FOR THEIR
VEHICLE,,, I KNOW I SLOW DOWN,,, WE DON'T NEED THE GOV'T ON OUR CASE ANYMORE.
WHAT WE DO NEED IS TO LIFT THE NICKLE A GALLON FUEL TAX THAT "SLICK
WILLY" PUT ON FUEL WHEN HE WAS IN OFFICE,,,, DAY, IN JAX FLA ,,,,83PT-40,,,

Today my neighbor mentioned that the federal goverment might be
thinking about cutting the speeds of the interstates to help preserve
fuel. I think it time we did something to help out the economy out
by
not sending all our cash over to the middle east. How many millions
of
gals of fuel could we save if we all just drove at 55? I for one
think
its a good idea and why not? Jon

I try and maintain a constant speed of 55 no matter what. Going down hill
its easy........uphill is another matter.

Hey, Guys:.. Remember back in the 70s? The Feds did cut the speed to
55. Well, the feds didn't really do it, but they told the states that
if they didn't do it, the states would lose federal hwy money...
Along the same lines, I have heard that by the end of the year,
Arnoldland will require seat belts in ALL vehicles... Even your
treasured 48 Ford toy.
No matter that they were not equipped originally or not..
Oh, yes, they must be lap AND sholder belts. Easier for the polive to
check you are wearing them. (How do I anchor Sholder belts in our
1973 Bird)?? This will be for ALL vechiles, out or state or not!!

That's all good but the real problem is the lack of refining capacity in this
country. The "not in my back yard" syndrome is the problem there, not to
mention restrictive regulations meant to save the world or something.

Mike, you couldnt be more on the mark.. we are already at full
refining cababilities, Gov't needs to find some sites, build
refineries, tap resources we know exist and flip off the middle east!

If you can get 30MPG in your vette at 70MPH you will have to start removing
gas to stop it from overflowing if you drive 55MPH I have a 1987
vette and it runs just fine at 55. its the air drag that lowers the mileage
as you go faster. And that principal works on trucks as well as vettes.
