Patriotic? Why Drive Above 55?
(Thu) 2008-08-07 - 02:00 — Mark BarkerI live in a village on the outer edge of a small city in New England. Usually it's easier for me to drive into the city on the nearby Interstate. Although I drive a new Toyota Prius, recently I've been setting my cruise control to 55 mph (88 kph). I remembered from the 1973 'gas crisis' that the most fuel efficient speed for a vehicle is 55 mph.
