Nicely done lone stars.

Honestly 80-85mph is about right. I know that would eliminate almost all of my speeding infractions.

A big stretch of interstate 15 threw Utah is posted 80mph and if you figure in a 5 mile an hour fudge factor for not getting a ticket I just don't feel the need to drive it much faster than that. Gas mileage goes to hell, overtaking trucks and slow cars becomes something you need to pay real attention to and have a problem mechanical or tire related and it starts to get dicey. I lost a tire in a E Type Jag years back at 100mph+ and it was a hand full.

Wish they'd have done that a few years back. Coulda saved me a bunch!

I wish they would fix the speed limit on I70 across Utah.

Funny. I do like the higher speed limit, for some reason!

that means you can do 109 and take defensive driving FTW!

The thought of being able to set my cruise control on my CTS-V to 94 is almost enough to make me move to Tx.

An, great yes but nothing comes w/o a price. Supposedly each speed limit sign costs about $600. Mulitiply that times a crapload of signs and that money would have to come from somewhere. I'm suggesting 99cent spray cans and a few illegals from the Home Depot parking lot or inmates. Could do several signs with one can. Where is Sheriff Joe?
