"55 in a 70 has everyone on your bumper including semi trucks. I'll do 62 and take the 8 mpg hit."
I have found that sticking to the far right lane I don't have anyone on my bumper. Most drivers have pulled into one of the left lanes before they get to me.
It's interesting to see how traffic moves in groups of cars, all trying to get around each other, in a minute or two they've all passed and the road is empty except for us slow moving vehicles.
After a rest area stop, or gas stop, you start to see the cars that passed you earlier, passing you again. :)
Took me 50 years of driving to realize speeding didn't get me there any faster.
Also even if you did 80, there would be someone on your bumper wanting to go faster.
