Back in the 1970s the state of california enforced a 55mph law on most of it’s freeways to help conserve gasoline. The California highway system was originally designed to allow motorists to travel at speeds of up to 85 miles per hour. But at that time, 85 mph was way too fast, and wasted too much gas. In the 1990s California raised the speed limit to 65 miles per hour because the price of gas was really cheap. Now that we are going through another gasoline crisis, do you think that the state of california is going to bring back the old 55mph speed limit law on most of it’s highways?
