I live next to, and drive on, I-80. The speed limit is 75, with average speed running about 78-79. It does drop to 65 by cities, namely Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska.
I-80 is the main east/west corridor across the country, and there are times out on the open road that the traffic is like rush hour in Omaha. I can't imagine the chaos if they tried to slow everyone down to 55.
