I drove down to FL about 2 months ago from NY (To Miami). Other than the fact that I did it in about 16:30 hours without stopping other than for gas, my average speed was somewhere in the 85-95 range, with me breaking 100 many times and driving for quite a bit at that speed. I was not driving my S though, it was an MB I was driving down to/for someone.

Here in the bay area, the speed limit on the freeways is 65.. but unless it's rushhour, people always go around 80-85.
But on a rural road that I don't know well.. I wouldn't go above 20mph over speed limit. because if they catch you 20+mph over, say byebye to your car and hello to a holding cell. (At least here)

20 and over is considered reckless driving here in MD, and in other states as well, so as a rule, keep it less that 20 over unless you're in trafic, or good at spoting radar traps. Insurance is expensive enough without 4 or more points on a single ticket.
