I voted 90-100 assuming there was a speed limit. I usually do 85-95. But, if this is assuming an open highway and no speed limit, I would be comfortable with 140+
"Would" implies a hypothetical question whose parameters aren't clear. How fast I "would" drive depends on a wide range of factors. Are the only factors those listed above -- "open" rural interstate with few cars? If so, answer still likely depends on what the speed limit is.
Depends on the car. Our Jeep GC isn't very confidence inspiring above 90. Our Cayenne seems built to travel around 100-120 very nicely. My car is made for 120+ all day every day.
On the opposite end, the Mitsu Spyder we have is a rattle trap above 80 LOL
It's been about 30 years since I've owned a car that could be driven over about 70 without feeling that the car was being pushed past what remained of its mechanical limitations. So if the general flow of traffic were much over 70, I'd just find a different road to drive on.
60-70 mph for me. That is the speed I usually drive on the freeway (70 mph). Any faster just uses more fuel than necessary. I don't need to get somewhere two minutes earlier.
Assuming very light traffic, perfect weather, unlimited viability, no speed limits, & considering the type of car and condition of my tires: 90-110.
I commuted for over a year at the edge of of a major city, where my route ended up going along a 12 lane divided, limited access-way highway, (IE: Interstate clone). but my drive was counterflow - heading OUT of the city. The inbound morning traffic was 10-20 mph, stop and go. The left lane of the outbound was consistently 85-90.
