Since the minimum speed on an Interstate highway is 40 mph, you could easily drive 55 and not be in trouble. Your mileage would certainly benefit. You might also be amazed that you are not the only person driving 55. Besides, driving 55 with no stops beats 60 with 1 guaranteed stop (the stop sign) even if the 2nd possible stop (the traffic light) doesn't force you to slow down or stop.
And please, I've heard the tired argument that the traffic is too fast, I'd get killed in the accident that going slower would cause. Not so. I taught my teen-aged daughter to drive through Atlanta, GA by driving the posted 50 MPH speed limit. You benefit from better economy and you rarely have to hit your brakes from being up close behind somebody. As for your nerves, try not to spend all your time looking in the mirror afraid of who is behind you and relax when the maniacs pass you doing 80.
