4. Drive slower...
I live out in the boonies,so to get any where one must drive at least 20-40 miles to get almost anything...but why does anyone have to drive at 80mph?

I'm not exaggerating,the speed limit here (Ks.) on all State Hiways (K-99) is 60 mph,on all US Hiways (US-54,56 50 ect.) its 65-70 mph and on the Interstates its 70.

I drive for a living, so I am a pretty good judge on how fast a Vehicle is gaining,passing and receding away from me.

There is simply NO reason to be hualin ass down a two-laner at 80-85 in a 10 year old F-350 CrewCab Duelly that has the aerodynamics of a Cinder Block,the fuel efficiency of a Exxon Supertanker and the desiel smoke of a Mile long freight Train pourin out the ass end! ...its just plum wasteful.

And Dangerous to boot!
