We Iowans usually drive on country roads pretty fast -- also, we're used to 15-30 minute commutes for basic things.

Yep. Visited a girlfriend's rural relatives in Missouri. One of them asked if we wanted to swimming. As I got in the car, I asked how far it was. "Oh, about 40 miles", he said. (Or what is more than that?!) We drove 85MPH or more on not-so-paved roads the whole way.
