I remember a quote from a German executive during the gas crisis in the '70's:
"Why doesn't Germany put a speed limit on the Autobahn to save gas?"
"Because then we would build cars as miserable as the Americans do."
Engineering a car to cruise at 130 mph for extended periods is going to end up being a better product than a car engineered for 55 mph.
