Wrong move

What are they thinking? Drivers everywhere are trying do reduce gas consumption, and the state decides to raise speed limits on many state highways? Personally, I have been doing my best to keep to the 70 mph posted speed limit on the turnpike in as effort to improve my gas mileage. Now I will be forced to burn more fuel at 75 mph or dangerously impede the flow of traffic. I am incredulous that anyone thought this was a good idea!
