Here in Italy speed limits range from 110 kph to 140 kph (2 and 3 lane highway), with the obvious exceptions of some extremely curvy stretches where the limit might go down to 90 (usually on mountain passes).
There are also some parts where the limit is 150 kph.
As to the real cruising speed, well, it depends on traffic. with 3 lanes, on a normal day it's 120 on middle lane and ~160 on the fastest, with the occasional low flying muscle car at 180+...
A stricter speed limit enforcement system has been approved last year, and in fact there have been 25% less mortal accidents than in 2002, but the speeding hasn't changed that much.
