What seemed weird when I visited your country

And that depends on the state and the area.
For instance, in Michigan, "Speed Limit 70" means "Minimum Speed 75, ideal speed 80". Then you get to Detroit, and ideal speed becomes 90.
Method of Madness:
Well, yeah, if you're on I80 in New Jersey, the speed limit is 65, but if you're going below 80 your ass better be in the slow lane :roll:

I remember going 85 on the New Jersey Turnpike and being passed like I was sitting still...
Method of Madness:
By 18-wheelers?

BHtooefer: I can recall being on the Southfield freeway (55) during morning rush hour.
I was doing 70 in the middle lane, whilst TRAINS of cars went by in the fast lane doing 90+.
It was like being IN a NASCAR race.
Here in Virginia and NC, well, this is NASCAR country.
My high school driver's ed teacher was a retired Winston Cup driver.
"SPEED LIMIT 70 MPH" is purely a suggestion.
My truck has a speed governor that limits it to 105 MPH.
I know that from practical experience.
:D
but my gas mileage tanks at speeds over 80 MPH. :psyduck:
