As for reducing fuel consumption through speed limits, it isn't a new idea. Isn't that why they brought in the 55mph limit in the USA back during the fuel crisis of the 1970's?

it was and it was also the justification for the 70 MPH limit on England's motorway system around 1973 I think.
Funny how they were never lifted isn't it?
