I'm of the same opinion.
My Attitude (on a long road trip) vs. Time
Hour 1 -- 5-10 below the speed limit (you too honey!)
Hour 2 -- Seriously, not 4 below, 5.
Hour 3 -- Maybe just a few MPH more. 2 below isn't gonna kill me.
Hour 4 -- 5 below is for chumps, speed limit it is.
Hour 5+ -- Aw *#($& it. Just get me there already!
So in short.
Avoid that kind of thing. It helps to have a spouse who will voluntarily obey the self-imposed speed limit when they take their turn driving.
