Yes, most do drive 55mph.  You see, long sections of 2 lane though woods 
provides the perfect habitat for our good buddies, the Troopers!  Tickets 
suck, and if you drive any faster than 63, you will get one.  However, 
radar/laser detectors do work well.  When you are all by yourself in the 
woods, there is nothing to set off a false alarm, so when your detector 
starts chirping, you start braking!!!  
Another reason Yoopers drive slow:  there isn't anyplace special they are 
driving to!  You see, what differance does it make if you get from Nowhere to 
the End of the Earth in five minutes less than it would take if you go the 
speed limit!  or from towns like Matchwood to Agate, or Paradise to Herman, 
or Gay to Mohawk. (You get the point)
Oh yeah, reason three:  Deer and VW's or any other car don't mix.  We have 
Deer, we also have coon's, moose, bear, any rabid lumberjacks!

I guess I should provide some Scirocco content:  The UP, I bet I am the only 
Scirocco in the hole darn stick of land!!!  (actually, I saw a tricked out 
MKI last year, and one the the prof's drives a Corrado G-60)

Hope I was able to provide some insight.
