When most everyone is going 90 in an 80 speed limit how much room, on average are they leaving in front while behind another vehicle? I haven't seen those kind of speed limits at all so I am curious. Thanks in advance.
Keep in mind that in rural areas of Nevada traffic is relatively light, even on the interstates. I'd say most times there will be only 5-10 cars per mile. I've gotten used to the light traffic so those few times a year when I have to go to Reno and get into traffic that's bumper to bumper at 65 mph I'm terrified the whole time. Not used to that! On secondary roads traffic can be so light it might be miles before you see another vehicle.
You're looking at about 25 miles of highway here. How many vehicles do you see?

Where you see 80mph limits in Nevada?
All I15 and I40 have 70 mph. Have not been on I80 for few years, but only east side of it had higher limits, where last 100 miles before CA state line it was 70 as well.
Love the "flow of traffic" excuse.
Last week I tow my boat with SUV to Lake Powel.
The 4-cylinder diesel struggled in heavy winds pulling big patio boat, so I was driving in 65- 70 mph range.
Still was passing some semitrucks and lot of motorhomes.
Don't recall seeing TC on the trip.
