I already drive the speed limit or slightly under. My commute is almost all highway with very little stops. For Saint, who knows Omaha, I live out by 192nd and Q and commute to Lincoln, so I drive down 204th street, through Gretna and then hop on the interstate, take it all the way to the 9th street exit in Lincoln and only drive a couple blocks in town.
For everyone else, the first part is a suburban highway that is 55mph, which runs through a small town where it drops to 45, then 35 but there are only a 2 stop lights and often times I don't have to stop at all. The interstate is 65mph near the limits of Omaha and Lincoln and 75mph in between. I usually drive 65 in the 65 and 72.5 in the 75. Doing this means I almost never have to pass anyone and I can totally zone out (not in a dangerous way, I mean just relax). There is really no way to cut any appreciable time off the drive so I don't bother speeding. If I get over 27 consistently I'll be happy, but if over 28 is not a fluke, whoa!
