Modern cars don’t get much better mpg at 55 than they do at 65 because of the much higher gearing. It’s not like back in the 70’s where everyone was driving 3 speeds that were spinning 4 grand at 75.

But, it’s just yet another political move by Hillary. She could care less if it actually works, as long as she can squeeze a few votes out of it.
