It's the car companies and big oil. They make big fast cars so they burn lots of precious gas so the gas companies can record insane profits.

Good Question: but remember these two things:
Not every car that has 120 on the speedometer face, can actually go 120 mph.
Municipalities make a lot of $$ of speeding fines. If cars were restricted to 60 mph, a large revenue stream would be lost - then license, registration, and tax fees would likely go up.
-- every mile per hour above the speed limit that yuour car is capable of - should be considered a "reserve" to be used in emergency to avoid a dangerous situation NOT an incentive to break the speed limit laws.

Every state has different speed limits. And some times the normal car is a used, as a race car.

velocity = distance / time time = distance / velocity = one hundred twenty miles / (60 miles / hr) = 2 hours so the respond is it won't. except you supply as much as pee you're utilising the incorrect way. you're making the gap longer with the aid of taking a bad shortcut your doing donuts at 60 mph your utilising on ice right into a sixty one mph wind so your actual backing up your watch is working sluggish The sign is incorrect your speedometer is incorrect youchronic over a volcano and get blasted into orbit you forgot with regard to the commencing up from 0 element of this question...

Use your brain that God gave you. Think about it this way:
It's YOUR responsibility to use restraint.
You can buy a bottle of whiskey that will kill you if you drink the whole bottle. DO YOU? of course not.
You can make a hot air balloon go up so high that it will explode and drop you to the ground. DO YOU? of course not.
Do normal people drive cars at their maximum speed just because they can? of course not. However you NEED that extra power when you want to go up steep hills, or pull a trailer.

Good question. But isn't it nice to know that your cars' capabilities exceed the speed limit, rather than falling short?

Just incase the cops chase you, you can run at 120 mile/per hr.

For pick up and strength. If the car can only go 60 mph, it would pick up slow.
