Try to explain that to the nutjob that races around you to end up at the
same red light. Sooner.

The problem is that many obviously don't care how much gas they're
using. They just write a bigger check to VISA next month. They want to
drive that huge pickup or SUV as fast as they want and whatever it costs
is... whatever it costs.

How about a national 45 mph speed limit. Enforced via governor on the car!

Nah. Get rid of all speed limits (except maybe in residential areas, where
speed bumps would do a much better job of slowing down the idiots), and
get rid of driver's seat seat belts and driver's side air bags. Optimally,
redesign the cars:
