62 mph is the magic number. You're fast enough that you don't impede traffic unnecessarily, you make good distance in a day and you're mpg doesn't suffer excessively. When in traffic take a lesson from the big rig drivers and drive about 5 mph slower than the general traffic so you maintain a cushion in front of you. There are some nuts that will dart in front of you and slam on their brakes regardless of how little room there is. In fact, following a big rig is the best way to navigate traffic.
