45mph all the way there.

Edit: On second calculations it seems to depend on how far your going.

Places close to you 45mph, places a medium distance away is 55mph, and far away places is 65mph. Speed seems to vary between 45-65mph.

Actually I believe it assumes you will be doing the posted speed limit on every road required to meet your destination.

Google maps doesnt know the speed limit of every road.

Weird, I usually get there 25-30 mins afterwards because the last 25% of the directions are always bass-ackwards.
Telling me to turn onto non-existant roads or telling me to swim across the ocean... bleh.
