A number of people have responded to refute these arguments, saying
for example that some cars get better mileage at 65 mph than at 55, 
and that highway accident rates are not proportional to average speed.
Well, I'm willing to be convinced, if there is authoritative
documentation.  If anyone can refer me to well-designed studies,
reported in reputable publications (I'd even accept Time magazine),
I'll read them and post my conclusions.  How about it, speed-freaks?

As for premiums, every time I call around for quotes, GEICO's are
lowest.  They paid for my cracked windshield without argument and
without raising my rates.  I've got no complaints about them
whatsoever.
