A change is in the air, maybe the rest of the highway traffic will be allowed to go 70mph. The Ohio Turnpike Commission does not have to follow the Ohio Statutory speed limits, and should post speed limits according to the US Federal MUTCD guidelines (aka 80 MPH was the 85th percentile speed for cars, and 75mph was the 85th percentile for trucks due to last Traffic and Engineering study on the Turnpike).
If you get pulled over on the turnpike for exceeding the speed limit, I would fight the speed limit brining in the traffic and safety engineer for that ODOT district, along with Ohio State Highway Patrol's publishing of the study, and the Ohio & US MUTCD.

NOTE: The statutory speed limit for all highway/freeways has been updated in 2014 for the state of Ohio.
