Despite this fact, I have noted that people sometimes instinctively recoil from the suggestion, citing "going with the flow" as the reason.
I purposefully drive 65 or under because I love looking into my rearview and seeing the people swerve to look around as their faces turn red.

I often wonder how much of the objection stems from the practical (ie. actually significantly disrupting traffic flow), and how much is psychological (the stress generated by the inevitable tailgaiters, who inattentively ride your rear bumper for a while, then "wake up" and roar past).
If the tailgating irritates me or if I anticipate it I just adjust my rearview mirror so I simply don't see them. They usually just zoom past me and give me a dirty look while I laugh.
