How many are need to go 55 MPH for the average car?

There's no single answer to how many *what* are needed to go 55 mph in an average car. The question is incomplete. To reach 55 mph, a car needs sufficient:

* Engine power: The engine needs to produce enough power to overcome rolling resistance, air resistance, and any incline.

* Gear ratios: The transmission must have appropriate gear ratios to allow the engine to operate efficiently at that speed.

* Road conditions: Good road conditions (smooth, dry surface) require less power than poor conditions (icy, steep incline).

The question needs to be more specific.
