Default already searched...Speedo number question...

What is the reason or the purpose of the little yellow 55 mph mark on the speedo?

The national speed limit law enacted in the 70s to theoretically reduce oil consumption.

Since most speedometers measure in 10s, they put 55 on there in a different color for handy reference.
