This is the exact same reason why they dropped it to 55 back in the Reagan days. The savings is something like 12% for every decrease of 10mph. There is less incentive to drive slower if everyone is still doing 65+ because you feel like a target waiting to be run off the road.
Not saying I want a lower limit but I suppose it wouldn't be a bad thing.
