Just pulling your leg man! It helps to cruise at a reasonable speed when you are doing long distances otherwise you need to be really alert for cops - I am in the same boat as I dont have/dont want a radar detector.
The speeds that you can maintain may vary from state to state.
I remember driving from San Jose, CA to Houston, TX two years back about 1900 miles and averaged about 78mph for the journey. Through most of less populated Arixona, New Mexico and Texas I was cruising at 95 mph but in California I kept it at 80 mph or less.
I also drove once from Houston to Cincinatti (1150 miles) and kept in cruise at 80mph all through. Pretty relaxing drive. Drove from Washington DC to Houston at an average of 70 mph or so.
RC of course is going laugh at these speeds - I am sure he reaches these speeds at the end of his driveway from a standstill
