If this is true, that's great. But, I'm afraid its probably those really rural roads out in West Texas. Out there, its already posted as 75MPH. So its probably only where it's safe to do that. Not that I wouldnt mind cruising around at 90 mph only be doing 10 over...

That's great news for you Texans. We just got ours increased to 70mph on rural interstates. Your next obstacle is the front plate issue, which we did away with 50 years or so ago.
