If you knew that your child, sister, brother, father, mother or someone important to you was in danger…would you take action to change what was about to happen? I would say that most of us would agree, that if we could change the chances of our loved ones being in danger or suffering….most of us would do the thing that it would require to keep them safe!

Senator John Warner has asked Samuel Bodman the Energy Secretary to review information that would reveal what the ideal speed limit would be that would allow the most efficient use of gasoline in our vehicles today.

Many Americans have already started to alter aimless driving habits. I see nothing wrong with that…we all could do better in planning where we go and what we do while we are out and about.

After all, it will take longer to get where they are going.
