70 mph is a bad idea. It should be at least 80 mph.

The interstate I commute on has the flow of traffic being 80 mph, regardless of the fact that the speed limit is 55.

People tend to travel at what they consider a safe speed, which on a freeway tends to be 80. I would not be traveling faster than 80, even on an unlimited-speed highway, because that's the max safe speed for my car and my reflexes.
