It's Not the Speed, It's the Sudden Stops!

From my local dead tree newspaper:

Stockton: "...Police said the driver of a silver Volkswagen was traveling...at a high rate of speed and did not slow for stopped traffic in front of him. The VW crashed into the back of a stopped SUV...The man in the VW was transported to a hospital, where he died as a result of his injuries..."

On the other hand, he got great gas mileage!
