Shot these with my cell phone on I-15 in central Utah on my way to Vegas. I know the sign shot is pretty bad but I had to keep my eyes on the road at that speed. How many states have 80 mph limits?

 

All of the wide open ones are either 75 or 80. This map is out of date

I have driven that 80 in Texas going to Cali. not much out there but dirt

 

I live in Springville UT, and drive that stretch often, it's nice. Too bad it doesn't stay at 80 all the way to Vegas.

 

The 40 is 70MPH. I do 77 and have never been pulled over...(until I typed this).

 

Lots of roads in AZ are 75. My speedo is in KMH, so I have to convert.


Oh, wait. My speedo is in MPH. That means I've been going 121 MPH!!

Still get passed.

 

80 is a common cruising speed for me, curious tho, what kinda fuel economy were you averaging? i get like 12mpg wind at my back kinda thing

 

I drive 3,000 miles average per month for work, mostly highway. I always go 5 over and so far have never got a ticket. Someone who drives this 80 mph section every week tells me that the UHP isn't tolerating 5 over and will ticket you for 1 over.... I got lucky. As far as mileage goes it seems that it has gone down since they started delivering oxygenated fuel for the winter. I was averaging between 18 and 19 with 21 on down hill down wind situations. On my last trip my average was 17.2

 

Would be nice to have farm fuel the purple stuff, well I don't know if you guys over there got the colour additive to the farm gas since you were not supposed to be driving on the road with the purple gas unless it was while working or travelling to and from the farm if you did't live there. My uncle said he got better gas mileage and less gum ups and spark knock with the purple gas as he called it.
