We are refering to 75mph/70mph/65mph speed limits here. Highway only.
AVERAGE DAILY HIGHWAY DRIVING.
Lets not make this a pissing contest since we are talking about "breaking a law" here.

I usually drive between 75 and 78 on the freeway here (limit of 70). Around town I don't go much over the limit, 38 in a 35 or so. Sometimes I might go 60 in a 55, but usually its about 58. Although on Friday when I got out of work I just wanted to get home so I was going 82 and since it was about 11:00 it was dark and there was a state cop following me and I didn't even notice it was a cop for like 5 minutes. I slowed it down a little (had the cruse on) to like 77 or so once I figured out it was, but as soon as I did that he passed me and kept going. 
I guess he didn't have time to pull me over or something???
