130MPH is a common governor limit for big-engine vehicles. I've heard it said this is the "bad publicity" number they don't want to break.
My experience is that many mid-80's and up vehicles have gears meant for loping fuel efficiency that far exceed their capabilities WRT horsepower vs. drag. In any case, just about anything that'll go beyond 115 is speed governed.
