I hope you're kidding! Going 65-80 km/h on the 401 is going to cause a collision. No amount of fuel you save in your car will be worth getting hurt or hurting someone else.

If you want to drive 65 km/h please find a route that is appropriate for that speed. Don't bother telling me that it's technically legal to do 60 on the 401, that won't matter to you after your car gets rear-ended by someone doing 100.

If you're driving on public roads you should be prepared to drive the speed limit. Going 20-35 LESS than the posted limit will endanger you and everyone else around you, many of whom are going slightly OVER the limit. Roads are safest when everyone is going the same speed.
