How often do you hit triple digit speeds while driving?

Just curious. I live in the Phoenix area and it seems like people drive quite fast compared to majority of the rest of the country. I don't have a fast or performance oriented car at all anymore. I daily a twenty year old Wrangler (TJ) and I still hit 100 mph+ a few times a week on the highway if I'm in the left lane passing cars and I want to get back over quickly, so whoever behind me that wants to go faster can pass. It's not like I'm even getting a "rush" out of it or anything (obviously not in an old Jeep lmao) it just feels normal when commuting here. I typically drive about 80-85 when the limit is 65 and there's no one else on the road. Maybe 95 or so at times when I'm keeping with traffic on the 101. Even my non car enthusiast friends seem to hit triple digits or close when driving here quite often and I never thought much of it until my mother from California came to visit once, looked over and went "Are you seriously driving that fast?" Maybe I just have a friend group full of lead foots, but then again I swear I see a ton of people going just as fast.
