I am aware of the regulation to reduce gas consumption. However, correlation does not necessitate cause. Factors not considered are consistent driving speeds among all traffic, decreasing speed variance. I would agree that fatalities would drop, but it seemed to effect mainly denser areas for a limited time. Info about 65mph regulations: http://sense.bc.ca/disc/disc-09.htm @Ray: You're right. In the 90's, Montana didn't have a speed limit on rural highways. @Jan: I am too young to remember, but not too uninformed. I am aware of the regulation to reduce gas consumption.

Like I said I don't know for sure. I don’t know to much about speed limiting but I think it is not authorized on a presidential level but more on a state or even county level.
