If you're going down a hill while already going 55 and you put the brakes on you're wasting gas. Coasting would have been better. A 55mph speed limit on I35 may (on the flat portions) or may not (on the hilly portions) increase drivers' mileage. Also, every car has a different "sweet spot" for mileage and it's related to engine RPM and aerodynamics.

At some point, enough is enough, period. It force has to be used to stop this crap, so be it. Just how much crap will the public put up with? Too many good people fought and many died to make this the great country that it is. The jackasses that are tearing it down are not responsible. We are. We elected our "representatives", so now we have to unelect them ! Gotta turn up the heat on all the elected reps that are waiting around for a slice of the tollway pie. Traffic on our highways is going to go down once people realize that this outragous fuel cost is for real. And for the idiots that are pushing the toll roads and faster speed so Texas can get more up front money from Cintra, are we trying to save fuel or burn it up sooner? Pres. Bush should drop the speed limit to 55 ASAP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12974737.post-67768857113908523412008-05-21T17:46:00.000-05:002008-05-21T17:46:00.000-05:00Scam isn't the word.

The US has a stronger military so there's no way they'd invade. Intentionally defaulting would make Cintra leave our country alone. However I wouldn't count on this because our government pays the losing bidder millions. Our government likes to piss away money- citizens money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12974737.post-84970480078760497272008-05-21T09:33:00.000-05:002008-05-21T09:33:00.000-05:00Hmmmm, 130 failed to meet it's first years project...Hmmmm, 130 failed to meet it's first years projections by 11 milion and we are stuck with the check. My question is when will more people see this and put a stop to the rest of the double tax trolls plan to toll us to pull out of our driveways. <BR/><BR/>I must say I hope that the prospects of $8.00 per gallon gas are just talk. However; at the current price I am dipping into savings all the time to keep up. I live less than 10 miles from work and do not need to get on any highway or sit in any type of heavy traffic. Oh and I ride a cheap motorcycle. The problem is I have a disabled spouse that can not work and has had numerous surgeries. So, we live on one income in a primarily middle class neighborhood. If the current gas prices are affecting me this bad now I think at $8.00 a gallon and tolls everywhere we will be screwed. Thanks Perry, Watson and all the rest of you crapmunching double tax trolls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
