From my experience driving in Michigan and Ohio (both 65 states), the average
speed runs anout 70mph.  Some places it's a bit less; out in the boonies it
creeps up to 72-73 average.  Remember, there are a lot of 4-cylinder cars
out there that won't *do* 80!  Especially on any sort of an up-grade ...
Personally, I find 70mph is quite fast enough for me - I wouldn't WANT
to be doing 80 or so, and I believe most drivers feel the same.
