From what I have read, the theory is, Set a higher limit where it is practical, police it properly (ie dont let people do 90 now just because the limit is 30) and maybe people will then take lower limits (where they are needed) more seriously.

Well if it drinks more fuel then just put more in. If your realy bothered about how many miles you get to the gallon then go buy a three cylinder cheap as chips car. Maybe people shouldnt have baught a large 4x4 |

I've been quite happy with the status quo; an official 70mph speed limit, with it being an open secret that the police don't take any interest beneath 80mph anyway. If the official speed limit is raised to 80mph and it's properly enforced, then the nett result will be: No change! |

Make it 80mph but also make the penalties, say, over 85 that much greater.
