Depends on driving style, weather, traffic volume and speed. Two of you just cruising along at 80 with nobody else around ... who cares. Now if you'd been glued to the other guy's bumper it would have been a different story!
It almost sounds like you've never been on an interstate before or never exceeded a speed limit !!!

Living in SoCalifornia and knowing some of the State Hiway Patrol guys, typically they allow 10MPH over the posted speed limit. But are very critical for cars weaving in/out of traffic lanes creating a hazard.. Just my $0.02...

Max 5 over and I feel like I will get run over every time, and I drive 120K a year. Semi drivers have gotten stupid in the last couple of years, all this "hero's" nonsense it just emboldened them more. Luckily I have seen more getting pulled over lately... In Arizona they set the speed camera's for 11 over, if you go 10 over you didn't get a ticket in the mail. Once they eliminated the cameras it was game on. 11 mph seems to be the magic number everywhere...

I usually drive about 10 over the limit. This is my rule as well (open interstate). Less than 10, you almost never be pulled over (unless you're dumb enough to pass a cop). 10 - 14 over and you're still pretty safe. 15+ over and you're almost guaranteed to get a ticket. It's all about fines (revenue), and speed limit fines above 15 MPH over the limit greatly increase in most areas.

If I can get in a pack of speeders I will go as fast as they do lol. Back in 06 or so we took my Wife's Neon to Nashville. On I-40 we got in a group of econo box cars and we hauled! We ran over 100 for awhile with the little neon buzzing away. The leader of the pack was a new beetle, then the neon, a cobalt, and some other disposable car. We did this for a long ways between Memphis and Nashville. We probably all got over 30mpg also haha. We passed a trooper in the median running about 90 and he didn't move. Probably didn't believe his radar given the group of cars.

Usually 10 over on the interstate. My wife and I made a trip to Idaho this summer, in parts of Wyoming the speed limit is 80. I had the cruise on 90 and we were getting passed. My wife didn't like it, but you can sure put some miles behind you. LOL

It all depends on what traffic and weather conditions dictate. There are some roads in Michigan's upper peninsula where doing 70 mph is a 55 mph zone is holding up traffic!
One of the Detroit newspapers did a story a few years ago where one team of drivers drove "as fast as they could" between Detroit and Mackinaw City, Michigan on Interstate I-75. The other team, drove at the posted speeds. Michiganders know that there are always slow pokes driving in the fast lane causing backups in Northern lower Michigan.
The team that "speeded as fast as they could", only beat the other team to the hotel by approximately 15 minutes.
The purpose of the article was to identify to the readers if it was worth the risk of a ticket for only 15 minutes?

Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.

I really wish we could pay for a different license to allow us to run higher speeds on certain roads, maybe designate it with a certain license plate or something. A 100mph cruise speed is nothing for most vehicles these days, but that it is 95 mph faster than some people need to be driving.

Traffic, terrain, conditions, the car I'm driving, and the timeframe go in the mental blender and a speed of travel comes out my right foot... I learned back in the 55 days to constantly scout for LEO/revenuers, and to not drive stuff that isn't capable and in good order. I've been towing @ 75 in TX in the past, and been whistled by a car transporter who was likely +15 on me. There's lots of areas where +10 or so goes un-noticed. Some parts of the Country, I've put it @ 100-130. Other parts, I'm happy to just cruise through and enjoy the scenery.

Depends on what the speed limit is. I usually drive about 10% over the limit but it really depends on the weather, time of day, how much traffic is on the road, etc. I've cruised along at 100+ mph very early in the morning when the weather was perfect and there wasn't any traffic. I've also crawled along stop and go stuck in traffic when commuting. +10% is the margin of error that is the approximate tolerance that is built into most speedometers so they will always read a higher speed. This is to compensate for tire wear, wrong tire size, incorrect tire pressure, etc., or to never read a lower speed than the vehicle is actually going. If this was not the case (of reading a slightly lower speed) then there would be lots of class action lawsuits for speeding tickets. I use the +10% too because of this. Lots of adventure and touring bike riders have GPS and they are always complaining their speedometers read a lower speed than their GPS, and that's because of the of the speedometers built in margin of error. If you have a GPS with a speedometer check it against your speedometer. GPS speedometers are also not always perfect but it may give you an idea. Or set the cruise on 60 mph and stopwatch check it for 60 seconds between mile markers. Or 51.4/52.9 sec @ 70 mph this way if you think you were going over 75 mph when you passed that cop you may not have been and that's why he never went after you. Checking your speedometer's accuracy is a fun thing to do on that boring long haul drive

I'm in upstate NY. The Thruway and Northway speed limit is 65. I hardly ever drive less than 75 true speed. I'm observant enough that I've almost never passed a speed trap at 75, I slow down to 70-72..

I paid for the whole speedometer, sooo now and then I use it. Seriously though, I drive a CV and it has radar on it, most vehicles that pass me are in excess of 80-85. Occasionally I see them top 100.

i am getting old............. i used to just blast down the road, but with today's distracted drivers, i might get to 5-8 over, but that's stretching it. way too many things to watch out for, and i realize my reflexes are not even close to what they used to be. however, i have proven that when evasive tactics are called for, the look where you want to go rule really works !

I drive anywhere from “conditions allow” to 30 over. I live in a rural area but very cold winters. Little to no traffic, but big animals, gotta be careful, but gotta live your life. Fast cars deserve respect, as does your life.

I was a no-more-than-5mph-over guy for a long time, but 30 years of a mostly-highway commute have ruined that. Now I pretty much pace the traffic, which, when there's not a lot of congestion, is going to be about 10 over. 65 in a 55, 70 in a 60, that sort of thing.

As a long time Class A CDL holder, which means I am never allowed to have a moving violation dismissed ( guilty or non-guilty only) or mitigated by taking driver school with even a reduction of points, no matter what vehicle I am driving or even if not working, I seldom intentionally drive more than 3 mph over the limit and try not to ever be the fastest car in any pack.
It sucks, But I don't make the rules, and I have too many vehicles the insurance could increase on based on points, even though I only drive one vehicle at a time.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Most drivers do not seem to care at all for the extra $ cost of going 80 mph in a non-aerodynamic vehicle. The high gasoline price jump period we just went through gives “real world proof” of that. Many drivers paying high interest payments every month on the debt they owe still have “the pedal to the metal.”
It is kind of a curse to be interested in aerodynamics. Tiny details of car shapes grab your attention as you walk through parking lots. You can’t float down a river without noticing unusual eddies. lol, I doubt one tenth of one percent of the vehicles you see in the parking lot are non-aerodynamic. Aerodynamics have been a focus at least since I bought my brand new 86 Daytona. My 2015 535i has a lot of aero tricks you are not likely to notice stumbling thru the parking lost. Grille shutters and belly pan come to mind.

By myself I always run about seven over the posted speed limit. I use cruise control whenever I can and I just let it maintain for me. Do the same when I can riding my 2007 BMW R1200RT. Never had any Wisconsin police officer, local/sheriff/city/state-cop ticket me for seven over the posted limit. I stick to the "seven you're fine, ten you're mine" guide when driving. When on my bike I always wear a white full face helmet, my silver/grey Olympia riding jacket, gloves and Euro style riding boots, and if I wear black jeans I swear some drivers think I am a cop on a bike. My BMW is a mix of silver/grey colors and I have LED driving lights added to the front. I never follow traffic too close, but I have had cars pull over to the side or to another lane as I approach, heh, heh.
In my company provided cars over the years, I just blend into traffic because what I drive is very common, don't stand out in traffic. When in traffic I drive with the major flow as its easier to maintain space around me. So if traffic flow on major highways/interstates are running close to ten over I tend to flow with them. I was recently driving 294/94 around Chicago and north, traffic flow was averaging ten+ over the posted speeds, which means in many sections we were doing 80+. I saw a Metro police Ford Explorer behind me in traffic, so I slowed to within eight over the posted speed and the police Explorer zipped by me easily ten over the posted limit. In fact it was two of them running a close formation moving through and around traffic. Once they got ahead of me about 1/4 mile I sped up to match their speed, and we were doing 85+ in a posted 70 area. Curiosity satisfied I backed off down to seven over and set the cruise.
When I get my 56 pickup on the road it'll easily cruise at 70+ all day because it'll have a Dakota chassis underneath with a built 5.2 Magnum/8HP-70 trans with 3:55 gearing in the rear axle. But since it'll certainly stand out in traffic I may hold more consistent to the seven-over limit, as long as I don't have traffic crowded around me (I hate that when driving).

my one buddy just got a new chevy pickup several months ago, and he is constantly having to slow down from 85. interstate limit here is 70. that thing rides so smooth you don't realize just how fast you are going. My work truck got changed from a 2016 Silverado 3500HD to a 2022 3500HD. For whatever reason the newer style truck seems like it is going way slower. I have gotten used to it now but I really had to watch it for awhile. The truck doesn't ride any smoother than the old one but something with the dynamics of the newer body style changes the perspective of speed.

i keep telling him to use the cruise control, but that damn "infotainment" thing has him so confused, he just gave up trying to figure it out. too much garbage on those things in my opinion. The cruise control buttons on mine are just normal buttons, no tricks! lol

Depends on what I am driving. My Dually usually the posted limit maybe a couple over. My wifes AMG 9-10 over or keep up with traffic especially when in Cali.

i keep telling him to use the cruise control, but that damn "infotainment" thing has him so confused, he just gave up trying to figure it out. too much garbage on those things in my opinion. I have a 2022 Silverado work truck. Cruise has nothing to do with the screen. It's buttons on the left spoke of the steering wheel. that's what i thought, but he's too absorbed with the infotainment screen to notice that.

I run 10 mph over the posted limit usually. That's mostly where I run if I have running partners on the interstate, but I watch my P's & Q's going thru your neck of the woods on 76/501. Had too many close calls with the SC Silver Bullets....lol. Especially in the 50 mph zone around Sparky's! Yessir, they love to burn people up in the 50 mph zone through Rains near Sparky's. That's right where I live BTW.

I usually cruise with 3.000 rpm in my old Mopars on the autobahn. Speed variies depending on the rear gears Carsten Of course always in the left lane on the autobahn......... NOT you are correct. With that speed I am driving in the right lane 95% of the time. Just overtaking trucks&buses. Or electric cars trying to save power Carsten

I usually just keep up with the traffic in the hammer lane most of the time 80-90 mph during work traffic on 76 through Akron. When not keeping up with work traffic I just do around 15 over the limit. Ohio troopers are still on the hunt most of the time. Gus

I drive 88 mph, any faster than that I will be going Back to the Future!
I talked with many Highway Patrol Captains. Most say if you stay under ten miles per hour over the posted speed limit you shouldn't get a ticket unless your doing something else Tail gating, unsafe lane changes and such. .

During the day, as fast as I figure I can get away with. Usually about 10 - 20% over, but rarely over 88. At night, about 5 over.
