100kph/60mph on non-congested highways is ridiculous, with modern cars. Our speed limits should be raised to at least 120kph/72mph like it was 40 years ago.
United Arab Emirates: 120km/h (75mph)
USA: varies between states - 104-136km/h (65-85mph)
Sweden: 120 km/h (75mph)
China: 120km/h (75mph)
New Zealand: 100 km/h (62.5mph)
Germany: Advisory limit of 130km/h (81mph)
I rode to a Swedish airport in a bavarian station wagon taxi at
120 MPH and that is no shit. I could see the digital speedometer
and it went over 200 KPH a couple times.

the reason IL refuses to raise speed limits to any rational value in the
Chicago area. They will raise a few to 60mph, eventually. Maybe. Never
mind these interstates had higher speed limits in 1959.

The speed limit on most of I-15 in the southern part of Utah is 80.

I-15 speed limit headed out of CA is 70 then goes up to 75.
Once you clear Barstow, the average speed is about 90 until you
hit Nevada.

Most of California's freeways are posted at 70mph and the cops wont
nail you until you hit 78 or faster
