Thanks!

I probably could do bettery by slowing down, but I don't want to be that guy driving 10mph under the limit. There's a point where one is impeding traffic, and I don't want to find it. On my way home last night, I went a little bit slower, just because there was much less traffic, anyway (~62-63mph), and I'm sure that helped me too.

On the other hand, I could just take back roads for that and similar trips, even if it's a bit of a compromise-- long stretches at 50-55mph, but occasional stop'n'go in various towns.
