More importantly, Venezuela's vast oil resources have been vital to support China's breakneck-speed economic growth.
These will be the first U.S. highways to break the 80 mph barrier (Texas and Utah have each tried 80 mph limits) since President Richard Nixon enacted a national speed limit of 55 mph in response to the 1973 oil crisis.
