In my area, no sympathy from me!
Everyone knows that driving at 55 mph instead of 75 saves at least 10% in gas. They also know that driving accelerator/brake wastes gasoline (and wears the brakes). In my area, Tampa Bay, few care. They may gripe about gasoline prices, but their driving habits don't show any real concern.
Safety? Not even that influences our drivers. In fact, the half-empty gas tanks are a life-saver for many who collide and set their vehicles ablaze.
I would not mind paying $5.00 a gallon to get more people off the roads and to slow them down a bit.
Sorry, no sympathy for reckless drivers - as so many are!
