I drive between 60-65 on the Interstates. Trucks pass me all the time, no problem. BUT, we have all experienced a truck that just seems to always get in the way, especially in hilly country.

That's about the only time I kick it up to maybe 70 for a short spurt. Seems to be good strategy. Otherwise, if the trucks are running fast enough in the slow lane I will stay behind them back far enough to avoid the turbulence from them.
