And forgot to mention he slowed the National highway speed limit. Wouldn’t the truckers love that one but it makes perfect sense. Slow down, start coasting, share your ride. Short and sweet. But my favorite is PAY YOUR FAIR SHARE. Every Democrat should start repeating that one.

This truck driver has no problem with speed limits to save fuel and air pollution. Only the independent truck drivers who own their own rigs can drive at any speed on the highway. If you work for any large company, all the tractors are speed-regulated to save fuel.
Gigi... slowing down is good for you and I and many of our friends, DUBs and Dems alike. However, for the average person, it's a non-starter. I believe it was Nixon who imposed the 55 because of another (fake) fuel crisis. Driving long distances at 55 is unsafe, our hi-ways are designed for higher speeds. Do you drive in Texas? Well, if you do, you'd know that it's 70 on most rural roads..2 lanes, 4 lanes, divided or undivided. And, traveling from little town like Kountze to Houston or Dallas, 80mph is the norm. Why? Because it's a long way to anywhere in Texas. And a ton of other places in our country as well. And, let us not make jokes about people who bring all that crap we buy, including food..in a very 'timely' manner. With a good safety record too. At the same time, piston engine fuel economy has improved. Example, my 1966 Corvette gave me 12 mpg, whether I was going 50 or 70. Today, my 2021 corvette delivers 26mpg at 72. And in closing, I would add that because of KingDUB, Detroit was allowed to ignore fuel mileage recommendations..which they happily did. I'm with you Gigi.., but try driving from Depue IL to Point Reyes, CA at 50mph, on some roads where 85 is just another sign. Motels? ha. After 5 hrs at 50 looking at the same scenery for 250 miles.., I get bored and sleepy. While 5 hrs at 85 plus, I'm refreshed seeing I've covered over 400 miles.

Surely those independent truck drivers, if they do drive at any speed, will moderate that behavior as gas prices increasingly eat into profits.
