: Perhaps a more interesting example would be I-84 in Idaho, which is posted at 
: 75 mph.  Before, when it was posted at 65, I would get passed a lot driving 
: the speed limit.  The last time I was there (after the limit was changed to 
: 75), I didn't get passed much.  One conclusion would be that most drivers are 
: most comfortable somewhere between 65 and 75 mph.

When I was in Montana, the same applied. Most were going 65-75 when 
conditions permitted. It was in late December you know. Otherwise, on the 
snowy and icy sections, 45-50 prevailed.
