These days I use the posted speed limit on my GPS as a guide. I tend to keep at about 8 miles over. I never exceed 10 miles over. I drive a company car so I cannot get any traffic violations. If I get more than 2 in a 1 year span, I'm screwed. Plus, that seems about right to me.

There are certainly times when the posted speed limit seems just right to me. In particularly, when driving through the mountains, it can get really steep and curvy.
