As fuel prices rise, some speedometer needles fall - Boston.com
This is so ridiculous. I dont know much about aerodynamics but on a modern car the difference in 65mph and 75mph cant be that much in gas milage.
If you read the whole article, they quote a state rep from alabama proposing "we'll lower the speed limits when gas prices get high and raise them when prices are low." Yeah ok buddy I'm sure you'll raise speed limits once prices are low (which wont happen for awhile anyway).
When gas prices soar people get these crazy ideas to lower speed limits and go buy vespas.
Which means there's probably going to be a lot of new riders with little to no experience riding around on two wheels trying to save a buck this summer.
And possibly lower speed limits.
