I skimmed through the analysis. Figure 1 is pretty funny, given it's x-axis of 1.5 to 1.7 it on first glance seems to show a 50% drop in the deaths per 100M vehicle miles traveled in between 1996 and 1997 (1.7 to 1.6). That is even though they do show the exact numbers (1.69 and 1.64). But let's blame that on the word processors of the time (1999). The difference in deaths per 100M miles of vehicle travel between 1995 and 1997 of all States that Raised Speed Limits is -5.6%, while it's -6.3% for the states which kept the old one.
