Maybe use the subliminal approach. Ask him what's that famous book..
"Around the world in.... I can't remember now... how many days was it?"
Or ask what is your favorite '80s song?
Etc

Carpooling on a 7 hour drive with people I just met. The driver is cruising at 65 in the 80 zone. His digital dashboard

Some people, rightly so, don't feel comfortable or safe driving 80 mph.

True. But FIFTEEN under the speed limit? At least go 70, 75...

Nah, if they’re going that much slower, they’re being unsafe. If you don’t want to drive that fast, don’t drive

Yep. Going too slow impedes traffic and creates risk.

Exactly. They are making it unsafe for others. If you don’t feel comfortable

Those people shouldn’t be on the freeway, ever

15 under is not safe. Go the speed limit or a few under, sure, but you are a

Then those people should stick to the highways and stay off the interstates!

That'd make me nuts. Maybe offer to spell him off driving? Probably not comfortable w/ that having just met them.

When you stop for gas, grab a Dew and intercept him upon him opening the door

You should say, “Did you know that in the early 80s there was a gas shortage

Offer to drive the next leg

Really? Does that improve MPG? Or just disincentivize driving?

In general, 55 is more fuel efficient than 85

Air resistance increases exponentially with speed. My off road LX470 can barely sniff 15mpg @ 80mph yet I’ve seen 20

Did you think it took less energy to move something faster?

It appears that's the case, otherwise the sweet spot would be less than 55.

Passed a tractor going about 20 on the freeway the other day. Yikes.

As an aside, we’d love to hear how you ended up in a 7-hr carpool with strangers

Going to an event in a neighboring state and they organized carpool groups for those attending.

Are the carpools mandatory or something? This is as weird to me as sharing a hotel room on a business trip

Call the highway patrol and ask them to pull you over

For breaking the law?

Yes, google says it’s illegal to drive at a speed that holds up traffic

I imagine they aren't holding up much traffic on a 7-hr. Stretch of hwy.

Yes, he is breaking the law

Just focus on the gas money being saved.

It's safe unless you're in the fast lane.

The left lane is meant for passing, it’s against the law to travel slow there.

A 7 hour carpool with people you just met? Did you lose a bet or are you on a reality show or something?

I don't even drive that slow in my 50 yo Motorhome on the freeway.

In my mind 65 in an 80 provides a safety risk. Cars come up from behind and have to quickly slow down and change lanes

Is the driver from Oregon?
BillyGoat

look at the DOT of the tires. If they are 7 years old, 65 will save your life

Is this a reverse of some sort? If it is, I'd love a link to the other post. If

Just make sure he is in the left lane for safety reasons.
