I would definitely say that it is a personal choice depending on the situation. If you need to be someplace at a certain time, you need to be there at that time. If you are trying to maximize your fuel economy to save costs and are not concerned with time, then you should drive accordingly. I guess, in the end, I'm saying that you should just do what you need to do and not concern yourself with elements that are outside of your control.
