Another thing that amazed me was driving across the state on I 84 at 65 when I just ran through Utah and Idaho at 80. Guess Oregon doesn't trust its residents to be able to drive faster then 65 or trust that they can see a corner coming up.
The speed limit has more to do with the liberal mentality of our government who are a bunch of eco-friendly types. Drive slower= massive fuel savings= cleaner environment.
