I value my free time, it's just that I don't save a great deal of time by e.g. going 85 rather than 65 on the freeway. Back in my commuting days, I'd have saved far more time by having a reserved parking spot right outside the lab, or having all the traffic signals on my route synchronized.

PS: Granted that it takes a bit of a tailwind to get the Insight up to 100 mph, but IIRC I was getting about 30 mpg at that speed. And there are a couple of places locally where I can hit about 85 while coasting :-)
