The 101 North in Scottsdale Arizona has loons going 100+ and some of the speed photo pics shown on the news are quite amusing.

My point was most all vehicles on the roads get their ideal gas mileage between 55-60 miles per hour. People bitch about the gas pump prices but do they have the common sense to slow down? Where's everyone rushing to anyway?

Slowing Down = Free Gas. It's just that simple.

The people that buzz past me on the 202 going 85 are using twice the amount of gas as I am using going the just under the speed limit.
