The road is straight, school is in session, and I have a good car, low to the ground, good tires. It seems reasonable and prudent to me. What is the harm?

There is no harm in either situation, I wish more people drove like that. The speeds you mentioned are pretty common in England where 90 MPH is the de facto speed limit on highways and 60 MPH is the actaul speed limit on back roads (roads that NH and NH towns would post at 25 to 35). The reasonable speed limits are about the only thing I miss about living in England.
