The only insane thing is wasting not only your time but other people's time because you want to save a penny per mile.

No offence, but I think some of you folk, or your legislators, need to work on what the word "maximum" means.

No. You're required to move over to the right regardless of the speed limit.
It doesn't say anything about speed limit. The speed limit and slower traffic keep right are separate laws. Just because the guy behind you is speeding doesn't give you the right to block traffic. You are both breaking the law. Leave the job of law enforcement to the police.
Another set of signs that seems to confound people, especially those visiting California from out of state in their over sized RVs (I'm looking at you WA and OR residents)
EDIT:
Another sign found in many western states people seem to ignore.

Keep Right
Watch for signs on Texas multi-lane highways that read "Left Lane For Passing Only." These signs let you know that the left lane on a divided highway is not a "fast" lane; it is a passing lane.
After you pass someone, move into the right lane once you've safely cleared the vehicle. Impeding the flow of traffic by continuing to drive in the left lane is punishable by a fine of up to $200.
