Ya, the 55 MPH and remember the long lines at the gas station at 5 in the morning to get your 10 or $15 dollars worth (as that is what the gas stations would allow). The government said that this would never happen again as they were going to solve the problem and it would be the number one thing that they would do. Yep, we don't have the lines, but we sure have the prices. Leave the car in the garage and walk, bike yourself to work no going out to eat and have your neighbors pick up your groceries for ya.
