With gasoline at an all time high, lawmakers are looking to bring back the 55 MPH speed limit. Senator John Warner wants the Energy Deportment to study what speeds cars are most fuel efficient and how much fuel would be saved. In 1974, a 55 MPH speed limit was imposed by Congress in reaction to the Arab oil embargo. It was repealed when gas dropped near $1 a gallon back in 1995. The lower speeds save fuel and reduce highway fatalities.
