I used to live in the Ft, Lauderdale area. There is a 25 mile or so section of interstate called I-595. The posted speed limit is 55 mph. I read when I lived there that they were thinking of raising the limit to at least 65 mph since the average speed was in excess of 75 mph.
Somehow I just don't think speed limits will do anything to reduce fuel consumption. If they did, enforcement of our current speed limits would be effective. In fact, there are many laws on teh books that aren't enforced with new laws coming every day on top of the ones not enforced. We are a nation of wanting to control other people yet we can't even use the controls we currently have effectively.
