For highway driving, I tend to average 60mph. I'm in no rush and

In Florida you will have little old ladies in buicks giving you the
finger if you are only doing 60.
80 is pretty much the standard speed on I-75 and 65 on a rural 2 lane
blacktop. Guys going 60 might be suspected of being drug couriers or
illegal immigrants. You could be talking to the cops.

It's hard to find roads with speed limits above 60MPH in town.
I'd have to drive a long way to get onto an "interstate". Driving
10MPH over the speed limit here *will* get you a ticket -- to the
tune of several hundred dollars.

Given that most roads in town are 45-55MPH, 60 is probably pushing the
limit.

Far different here. The speed limit on rural 2 lane blacktops is 60
and I-75 is 70.
