AMERICA DOESN'T NEED A NATIONAL 55 SPEED LIMIT

To all those calling for a national 55 speed limit to lessen American gas consumption we say simply: Shut up and observe the EXISTING limits.

Don’t look to government to solve our problems. We don’t need them to restrict us any more than they already do.

The solution we seek lies not in Washington but in our own driveways and garages. We need to control ourselves. The legislation is already in place. It is posted on every highway in America. All we need to do is observe it.

If, overnight, Americans simply decided to stop driving the “accepted” 5 – 10 miles over-the-limits—if we observed posted speed limits and drove accordingly, roughly $42 billion dollars would remain in the pockets of consumers like you and me. Per year.

That same $42 billion would NOT flow to the coffers of Big Oil, nor to OPEC states. Year after year after year.

This can happen right now without an act of Congress or a Presidential declaration or any state or government agency.

Change Your Driving Habits. Change The World.
