There was a study written a few years ago for NHTSA by Samuel Tignor and
Davy Warren called something along the lines of "Driver Speed Behavior on
US streets and Highways" Basically, it says that the speed limits should
be raised by 10-15 mph. It was reprinted in Car and Driver in 91, but I
don't remember the month.
Good luck!
