Thing is....At 94 and above in a 75 you have the risk for a $1000-$10000 fine, that is if you get convicted of Wreckless Driving.....if you are convicted of wreckless driving you are screwed, but can usually go to court and have it dropped......
Places like rural nevada, idaho, montana, wyoming etc....where there are no towns for 100 miles it is pretty common to see people going a bit faster than the speed limits.

I drive freeway/highway all the time, and don't get me wrong, I like to drive just as fast as the rest of you, but its a matter of if you don't want to pay for it, then don't do it. If you want to test out the limits of your car, or your nerves, there'* better places to do it then anywhere you have to worry about getting pulled over.
On the rare instance I get pulled over for going slightly more I've been fortunate enough to get away without a ticket. 
Just this morning I was cruising to work listening to Sammy Hagar'* I can't drive 55 and that is so true!!!
