I just returned from a mini vacation. I drove to Lancaster County PA and returned several days later. On my way to PA I took major highways for the most part and tried to stick to 55 mph! Well, everyone passed me, regardless the speed limit. No one, I mean no one did the limit. I stayed in the right lane and did speed up when necessary. Not one car travelled at 55 except me, when the limit was 65. What is with these folks. It is common knowledge that the most efficient speed is 55, saving gobs of gas not to mention the gentleness on our environment. On my way home I travelled 65 when appropriate for the limit, not the 55 as when I travelled to PA and everyone still passed me. What gives? I suspect our government will step in some time soon and drop the maximum speed limit like they did years ago. I think it makes sense, all things considered. Fewer accidents, less fuel usage. I think the trucks were worse than any car or driver. Everyone needs to slow down. Ugh.
