Exactly, and that point has been made a bunch already.Yeah but not driving our car's isn't going to help "not support terrorists" in a direct way
The military runs on diesel, what do you expect? Lol, we're supporting the people we're fighting

Interesting how many of you took the selfish way out to answer the question when we should be thinking about not only ourselves and our pocket books but our country and the world as a whole. I have no problem driving the speed limit or lower and I do go into the slow lane (There is no official fast or slow lane, all cars by law are supposed to go the same speed). Saying I need to change cars because I like to drive efficiently is like telling a football player to just lift weights and not work on cardio. It’s a combination of both things and I don’t really find it fun to go 90mph down a straight line, go fast down a windy road and tell me what’s more fun=^D 55mph has been mandated in the past, check my original post. Happy to see so many people getting engaged! Keep the conversation going...

Im sorry, but your gonna need to run for president for you to make an impact, Even if we somehow got every Honda/Acura Driver in the world, it still wouldn't be that big of a change...Interesting how many of you took the selfish way out to answer the question when we should be thinking about not only ourselves and our pocket books but our country and the world as a whole.

You like to go under the speed limit, and possibly cause wrecks because your going to slow, just to save the planet, and a little gas while you're at it? Until the law is changed to go 55 mph, please do us all a favor and stay on the side streets. There is not an official fast or slow lane, but there is a Passing lane, and if you are going under the speed limit you do not belong there, and are a risk to the people around you.

Take this thread, and go toss it at the under 20mpg club at www.RX8club.com. They will not care and will never give up the rotary love.
Cmon, this is an Acura/Honda site full of fuel efficient cars. Again, coming from my 12 mpg gas guzzling RX8.. gtfo stfu. If you want, write up a petition, go door to door and get people to sign it, and come back and tell us how many signatures you have. I for one will not sign, mainly because it'll increase ticket costs.
The money you "save" from being fuel efficient will just go towards our Gov't and police force, and I refuse to fund radar guns

How will fuel efficiency fund the police force? That's one I haven't heard before. And going slow actually creates a safer environment out on the freeway, any slower than 55mph would be too slow and Big-Rig Trucks drive at this speed all the time(law?). By driving slower, you are more aware of what is going on around and you wake others up when they come up behind you. You don’t have to do what im saying, what I am saying is that if we all made a change, it would make others change and we would all benefit, there is no arguing that. And, traffic would be reduced, accidents reduced, stress reduced, so many benefits, so little reason not to do it.

It's not the fuel efficiency that will fund the police force, It's the fact that lowering the speed limit on roads that were designed and made to be traveled at a greater speeds will make alot more people not obey the speed limit causing more people to get speeding tickets. This is not a fairy tale world, Not many people will stick to a plan if it is a inconvenience to them. And traveling on a road that is now 55MPH that was once 70MPH is a hell of a inconvenience to a lot of people since not many people like to have a light foot.How will fuel efficiency fund the police force?

I can afford to put $70 in my BMW every week and I'm going to keep doing it, and I am sure there are alot more people that would agree with me on that more then you.

OK kind sir(op). Allow me to correct m self as there is no 'official slow lane'. .. go 55 if you please. Its not much of a big deal here in WA anyways the speed limit is only 60. But....just stay out of the passing lane and call it a day!. There any many other way to cut down on oil consumption.

If it's not the passing lane, it's the slow lane IMO. By the way, who goes 60? Lol.OK kind sir(op). Allow me to correct m self as there is no 'official slow lane'. .. go 55 if you please.

Thats only if everyone is going the same speed, but everyone's not and the speed limit won't change that.By driving slower, you are more aware of what is going on around and you wake others up when they come up behind you.

Enough said.in theory its a good idea, but people are too independent to actually do something like this.

If you want traffic to be cut down, GOOD LUCK. People live so far away from work for xyz reason.
For me personally, IF I only have to drive to work and back home 5 days a week and go bowling once a week, I'm only driving 2,600 miles a year. Thats about 50 miles a week
Speed limit has nothing to do with traffic.. Heavy traffic, goes, so, slow
