The customary speed, mostly on freeways, is five to ten MPH over the posted limit. Note, however, that this does not hold true over all the US. In 1995, for example, we went to Arizona, and my mom was going about five over the limit and they gave her a ticket. They're harsh. On the opposite end of the spectrum, for most of the way from here (north San Diego County, southern California) to Las Vegas, you can drive about two thousand miles an hour and no one is around to care.
