How fast do you drive on the expressway?

[Mr. Illini]

Tried to leave the intervals fairly large since I know it varies.

I'm certainly almost always in the 15-30 over range. Our speed limits on rural expressways are now 70 in Illinois, and I usually cruise between 80-85 on those, sometimes pushing to 90. Chicago expressways are a racetrack (despite 55mph speed limits and on the Dan Ryan, 45), and when they're open I usually keep between 70 and 80.

[Mr. Illini]

I only speed if I'm running late. And even then, I don't go more than 5 mph higher than the speed limit.

1) Have you driven on the Chicago expressways since you moved up here?
2) If so, did you go 55 on those expressways?
3) If so, you're both the worst person ever and lucky your car is ok.
