Crash test are done at 35 M.p.h. and you see what that does to a vehicle. 65
or 85 will not make that much of a difference. If you are driving safely at
65 or 85 it does not make a difference.Your arguments are invalid, and if
you are getting 21 mpg then surely you are driving like an old grandmother.
