Drive 55 Conservation Project announces new bumper sticker goal and website update

Studies and real world experience prove that driving with an "Unleaded Right-Foot" and observing speed limits, never exceeding 55 MPH will reduce energy consumption by 20% to 50%, with no new technology or sacrifice in comfort or safety. In fact, traffic deaths and injuries drastically decreased in the years following the first national 55 MPH speed limit implemented in the 1970's due to the Arab oil embargo.

The people of the United States are under enormous pressure to reduce energy costs and here is why slowing down the pace of traffic still makes sense today.

Reduced fuel consumption - save up to 50%!
Reduced wear and tear on equipment and roadways
Reduced pollution, air, water and noise
Reduced congestion due to fewer collisions
Reduced collisions mean reduced deaths and injuries
Reduced dependance on imported oil
Reduced funding of oil wars

Increased cash to spend on other living expenses
Increased safety for drivers
Increased safety for pedestrians
Increased value of equipment due to less wear and tear
Increased life of taxpayer funded roadways
Increased ability for manufacturers to produce quality vehicles
Increased national security

All of this with no decrease in comfort, no new technology, no new fuel, and no inconvenience for anyone. Join us, get some of these bumper stickers for your vehicles and for your friends, together we can do this.
