I agree entirely with your post.
I travel 150 miles roundtrip on the interstate about once per week. The speed limit is 65, and I do 70. At this speed I am not passing everyone, or overtaking the fast lane traffic ahead. It seems to be just the right pace to get to the destination as quickly as possible while avoiding traffic citations and needless maneuvering in traffic.
When I make this trip in my diesel truck, I'll slow it down to 60 since the aero and tranny are not optimized for traveling faster.
