Still higher than the 75 limit for normal highways, but still, not quite the same.

Hmmm, I was on it doing 90 the other day and was one of the slowest cars on the road. I thought they had raised the speed limit, not lowered it!

I know for sure that 45 SE was only 80 (instead of 85), but I'm pretty sure I kept watching signs on 130 as well and they were all 80. But regardless, people do 90 on MoPac so the signs rarely matter much. 130 is empty anyway, so it's not like it's unsafe or anything.

So to bring it back on topic, were you in 8th in S at that speed?
