The Solution No One Wants

I had an interesting thought cross my mind as I was driving around today. With high gas prices and all of the "why isn't the government doing anything" complaints I hear, I noticed there has been no discussion at all around one of the few short term solutions the government actually could impose in an attempt to lower gas prices: Rollback speed limits on national highways from 65+ to 55 as they were during the last gas shortage.

There's the rub. No one wants their personal convenience diminished as part of the solution. Come on, driving slower is the "green" thing to do. Don't you care about the environment and your budget? Right, now that much.
