Fuel saved but lives debated in highway speed and car size

NHTSA says lowering speeds to 50 mph could save up to 5 000 lives annually while the council cites as many as 14 000 lives saved from slower speeds and fewer miles. Michigan Institute warns small cars raise death risk in crashes. DOT data show 57 000 highway fatalities in 1972.
