I'd rather see a president say "Do the math, people. For a 1/2 hour trip, do
you really need to get there a minute sooner? Try keeping it under 2000 RPMs
for a few weeks & see if your wallet likes the results. But don't do this
coming off a red light if it means jamming up 8 cars behind you who can't
get through the light. Use your heads and your rear view mirrors."

We'll have to wait for a real president, I guess.

How about just multi;lying the speeding fines by two or four and
enforcing the ones we have now.

Most Toyotas get better mileage at 62 than 55. Sorry that someone else is
stuck with American shitcrap that can't get it up. . . .

My Japanese cars all get their best economy at 70MPH.

All cars are the same, so it's pointless to experiment. Forget I mentioned
it.

Yes, & instead of a lower speed limit (55 drives me nuts on a good 4-lane
road, esp. when going on out-of-town trips; 55 on the Thruway was
ridculous), make the better mpg mandates for the auto manufacturers *stick*,
instead of forever getting watered back down.

Jimmie Carter, bless his soul, set the speed limits at 55 nationwide.
It was not popular and most ignored it. It is a new day, a new era with
more enlightened voters. I hope Obama sets the speed limits at 55
again, does away with noisy motorcycles, boats, cars and taxes to the
max large SUV's, leaf blowers, lawn mowers, snowblowers, pickup trucks,
boats with motors and all the other motorized recreational toys people
have today. Also I would hope Obama, in order to cause healthcare to be
cheaper, makes people diet in order to weigh less and therefore put less
burden on the national healthcare plan that Obama has in mind for us. I
would also hope that he makes physical activity such as walking two or
three miles a day mandatary, monitored by the federal government, which
will be created under the new mandatary healthcare plan which Barrack
will create for us, such as homeland healthcare services, for example,
this will create jobs BTW, union jobs.

I have high hopes for Obama in 08, he will lead us out of Iraq,
eventually, when the time is right. Barack said he will give us
national healthcare and raise taxes on the rich, yippy, lower taxes on
the poor, bring big oil to it's knees, woooo-hoooo!! I hope you all
vote for Barack Obama, the next president of the U.S.
