Fuel is a dwindling resource — it is
running out. That s a fact. It is also a
fact that reducing the speed limit to 55
mph conserved about 3 billion gallons
of fuel in 1974.
Sure, there are better means of saving
fuel. Gasoline could be rationed. Or
prices sent skyrocketing. Or travel re
duced. But, if we think about it, isn't
mobility more precious than speed?
Isn't it less painful to slow down?
Slower speeds contribute to saving
lives and reducing accidents. And, the
N.C. Highway Patrol reminds us, 55
mph is the law. It is enforced.
