Has anyone else heard about this? I've heard that it's proposed to be 55 mph again. The idea is supposedly to lower gas consumption...but all the gas savings in the world couldn't make up, at least to me, for the change in the speed limit.

If gas prices are REALLY that big of a problem...then sack up and buy like a hydrogen generator...

I dunno...what do you guys think?

most parts of the interstate i drive on the speed limit is 55mph. no one goes 55mph.

wouldn't really bother me. it would help SUVs not use so much gas.

oh PeeHair I agree wholeheartedly.

they did that in the 80's and i think it did have a huge effect on gas savings. and yea, a lot of ATL is already 55 and it means nothing. can't say i'd be too worried.

but people still go 90.

People just need to learn how to drive. It's not that hard to conserve gas.

Hard? no.... Not fun and forces you to be responsible? yes...

best way to save gas.. haul ass into a fast turn (ie 30mph indicated on sign.. 90 mph entry)... cut the engine off and steer like a mofo.

if you don't have powersteering and brakes.. you will have a great time.

I say fuck it



America is fat anyway

you are!

people worry too much about gas... and complain too much. just accept it.

Yeah gas prices have been much higher everywhere else for much longer and that have lived with it. Its just something people are going to have to either change driving habits or budget more money for.

I highly doubt gas prices are going to go below $4 anytime soon, or at all. Remember when your grand-dad kept saying "I remember when gas prices were 31 cents a gallon..."? Well we probably witnessed another permanent gas hike. Get used to it kiddies. If you can't afford it, get a better job. If you can't get a better job, go to college you hooligans, lol.

But seriously, the economy will eventually mold around gas prices as it has before and people will forget what all the fuss was about.
