Driving 55 MPH: An Experiment on S. California Fwys

by DF, mom4education Wednesday, Jul. 09, 2008 at 2:58 AM

GAS FACT: Slowing from 75 to 55 mph boosts gas mileage 33 percent in both sedans & large SUVs. On Sunday, July 6, 2008, I set my cruise control to 55 mph, turned on my Flip video camera, & entered the south-bound 101 Freeway at the base of the Conejo Gade in Camarillo, California. I filmed for over one hour, traveling toward Orange County. My quest? To see if fellow motorists were saving gas & cash by driving 55 mph. And my findings?

That 55 mph section of the 101S

That part of the video starts just after you drove past my kitchen window. The 101 South is posted 55 mph from the beginnings of Studio City almost to the junction with the 110.

What you filmed is exactly what I've observed there many times- nobody bothers to slow down to the posted speed limit. This may have something to do with the fact that I hear the SKREEEE...BLUNCH! of yet another idiot wiping out a couple of times a week when I'm at home.

Never mind saving fuel and money- taken as a whole, Angelenos can't be bothered to observe a speed limit even to save their own asses.
