Lower speed limit to reduce oil use

SPAIN:

The government introduced a lower maximum highway speed limit today to reduce energy use as the insurgency in Libya sent fuel prices above $106 (£65) a barrel.

The fine for violating the new speed limit of 68 mph is €100 (£86).

Spain and other European states depend on Libyan crude oil.

Production has suffered during the crisis there.
