100% increase, if you're talking about 100kmh roads. You'd need to be doing 130 for it to be a 50% increase.

For a fair comparison I’m assuming that most people will speed on the highway

I assume you mean 150 unless I'm misunderstanding something.

130 to 200 would be an increase of 50%, ish, 65 being 50% of 130.

I thought you meant 100 to 150. My bad.
