I got in on this way late but uhh..."Sounds awesome you socialist ass."I think the national speed limit should return and be set to 65mph. Cars should be mechanically limited to 67mph and trucks to 65mph. There is no good reason to allow cars to drive any faster on public roads. It is dangerous and wastes millions of gallons of gas every day.
I think cars should ONLY go 65....It's "65" or "stop".
And have a box with some spark plug wires and a few loops of LED xmas lights?I think all cars should be required to run off of 10,000 gigawatts.

I know. Just that since I am not 10 anymore it looks like the cheesiest prop ever.It is a Flux Capacitor....DUH!!!!
the national speed limit is 55mph, 65mph if marked.I think the national speed limit should return and be set to 65mph. Cars should be mechanically limited to 67mph and trucks to 65mph.

Me?You are so hard to please.
they also don't drive while texting and filling their pie hole w/ an egg mcmuffin.I like the European Autobahn (not just Germany). In some countries (Germany, I think The Netherlands too, Italy) there's no speed limit. I know on the German Autobahn, there's less accidents/capita than there is in the US. The difference is the higher fatality rate per accident.
That too.they also don't drive while texting and filling their pie hole w/ an egg mcmuffin.
Me?
(words so I can post, lol minimum post length)
Haha, at least the man's honest.No, not you. Your post was too wordy to read.
what, making them listen to sh*tty music?actually, better idea for cellphone-eating-makeup-newspaper-drivers:
Ummm... maybe because there's not a problem?Interesting that the threadstarter is being called all kind of names by a number of people but no one else has come up with a better idea or alternative...D
Ummm... maybe because there's not a problem?
simply need to increase the supply then no worries.oh you're right, excessive oil consumption isn't a problem...D
Price goes up, consumption goes down. Sounds like it'll take care of itself.oh you're right, excessive oil consumption isn't a problem...D
dumber-than-rocksimply need to increase the supply then no worries.
drill-drill-drill!!!
your sarcasm detector must be malfunctioning.dumber-than-rock
Uhhh , right.simply need to increase the supply then no worries.
drill-drill-drill!!!
You are probably right.your sarcasm detector must be malfunctioning.
Alas he's not joking......your sarcasm detector must be malfunctioning.
US OIL DEMAND, 2004: Over 20 million barrels per day, up from January 2002, when demand was about 18.5 million barrels per day, = 777 million gallons. If lined up in 1-gallon cans, they would encircle the earth at the equator almost 6 times (about 147,000 miles of cans) every day. Here's another image: EVERY DAY, the US consumes enough oil to cover a football field with a column of oil 2500 feet tall. That's 121 million cubic feet. 55-60% of US consumption is imported at a cost of $50 billion+ per year, amounting to the largest single element of our trade deficit. In summer 2004, thanks to higher prices, increased demand, and lower production, record trade deficits of more than $50 billion per month were recorded, with approximately 30% of that attributable to imported energy costs. In September 2004, the US reported its lowest monthly oil production in 55 years, at an average of 4.85 million barrels per day.
Just a slight % increase in mpg would save millions of gallons of gas.U.S. gasoline consumption of 320,500,000 gallons per day (March 2005) works out to about 3700 gallons per second.
QFTPrice goes up, consumption goes down. Sounds like it'll take care of itself.
Uhhh , right.
So you're saying that all we have to do is increase the supply of a finite commodity.
Fossil fuels have a finite quantity on Earth?So you're saying that all we have to do is increase the supply of a finite commodity.
Hey - you're the one that brought up the Quantum Field Theory. Talk about getting off track...QFT<snip>
How about we keep this thread on track, though, boys? National speed limit, yes or no?
