Montana raised the speed limits from 75 to 80mph last summer. I've noticed an odd effect... the traffic is now predominantly moving between 75 to 80mph, not 75 to 85mph.

This isn't an odd effect at all, it's perfectly well understood. Google the "85th percentile rule" for more.

If most drivers are "automatically" adding 9-10 MPH to the speed limit, it means the speed limit is too low.
