Re: Lets lower speed limits because gas costs too much


The speed thing is a scam. I think milage and speed depend on how they set up the gear ratios more than aero dynamics.

I used to drive to Tennesee and back 2-3 times per year in a 1972 Porsche 914. I got 26 mpg. averaging 65 and 34mpg averaging 81.

The car was a European model with a very tall 5th gear that I could not use under 75mph.
