Answer 1

Raising the miles per gallon was a good idea but I'm a punk and I love to drive fast so I don't listen to the speed limits as it is. I'd probably be even more in violation of the law if the speed limits were lower.

Answer 2

We did.  That's why the speed limit was 55 mph for all those years.

Answer 3

That was a great thing we would have inherited, but we disagreed, but if we did, the roads will be more save, and our cars would not be in the gas stations 2-3 times a week.

Answer 4

we used to be 55 for years now the cars that the drive today are getting a lot more MPG them before .I've seen some slowdown already on the big highways

Answer 5

Are you not aware that the speed limit was lowered to 55 in the 70's?  Why speculate about a solution that has already been tried.  Go find out how it worked.

Answer 6

You just named 2 things,wow

Those 2 things are nothing compared to the disastrous times we had during his Presidency

Go ahead put Bush's name in it,but the times during Jimmy Carter's Presidency were much worse.

Answer 7

Alt currency by computer graphics step further creates  humam designed cities through that currency.

Answer 8

Nope, I like driving 70 on the highway.  And news flash:  driving 55 miles per hour and having efficient cars would not get us out of "this mess."

Answer 9

Jimmy did far more harm than good while in office.

Answer 10

Answer 11

I like 55. Its the max speed on an old Army Deuce and a Half. Then people wouldn't honk and flip me off!

Answer 12
