Really high power is a waste around here as speeding tickets are all too common. A few and they pull your licence for a time. Ten miles over on the highway now will get their serious attention. Unless you are in a heavy stream of traffic doing it. They stopped the wife for two miles over this year. I just set the cruise at the limit now. We still make better time than with the loss of it when stopped. The wife travels so much on the highways. If I am along she points out all the strange brands of cars they are using to trap speeders. Favorite method is for them to take the lead spot in a line of traffic.
We use a two lane highway a lot as it avoids the tolls and is the same physical distance. Plus is in great condition. Lightly used other than by some of us locals. It is historical with no trucks allowed.

I live in the middle of nowhere. When I tell people the general area they roll their eyes and ask what I do when it snows. The real answer is nothing since I am retired and when I do work it is always from home.
But I go to Dallas a lot and sometimes to Denver. Both are places with terrible traffic and if you don't have the power to get on the freeway you will just have to sit there until the rush is over.
Plus I like to drive fast. I just drove 1250 miles and didn't see one cop. Budget cutbacks in Oklahoma make speed enforcement by the Highway Patrol a thing of the past.
