I have done the trip from Dallas to Minneapolis a few times though, and driving the speed limit means that the trip would have to be done in two days instead of one. In the process, I'm paying for a hotel between here and there and the again on the way back. Speeding (not insanely speeding, but over the speed limit none the less) allows me to accomplish the trip in one day. In my case, it saves me about $200.00 in Hotel rooms to speed.
Yes, long trips are one of the only reasons I could see to speed. Even if you only go 5-10 over, you can save several hours on a longer road trip.
But then you have to be extra careful since you're in unfamiliar territory.
