As I was driving my teenage daughter to a concert 3 hours each way last night in my 81 240D I had an idea on how to reduce global warming and our dependence on foreign oil- bring back the 55 MPH speed limit
Because it was late and raining with nasty winds I set the cruise on 55 and just ambled down the road. When I stopped for fuel on the way home I filled up with 10 gallons and had gone 385 miles! I usually get about 30 mpg so I was pleasantly surprised. What do you greenies think about this? Would you be willing to slow down to save the planet?
