I agree. It would be great if we could get out of there and let them implode. But if they're pissed at us for engaging in business with their leaders they need to take it up with their leadership first.

I doubt it would save that much on gas consumption. I was driving 90-100mph for long stretches in New Mexico and increased my gas mileage by about 25%
over my usual stop/start driving habit in town. If you want to increase gas mileage get rid of all those unnecessary stop signs & stop lights.

Ok, now we really have some areas of disagreement! 60 mph? That's crazy. I can't drive 55, and 60 isn't much better.
