　　There is a national speed limit of 55 miles per hour. Americans are generally polite about letting cars enter busy streets. They usually stopfor people who are walking to let them cross the street. In many states you may turn right after stopping at a corner, even if there is a red light. On some roads there may be a minimum speed.

hat gets 25 miles to the gallon gets very good mileage. A small economy car should get at least 35 miles to the gallon when it's new.
