But in general our speed limits are so fataing low on key roads it sure seems like they are purposely set at a pace that encourages speeding and subsequently the cash it would bring in.

The speed limits are set just as much for the road surface as the weather, traffic volume and competency of the average driver. You're talking about arriving a minute or two earlier at the most if you increase speed limits a few km/h on shorter trips.
