Well said dirty Dave, I have personally seen 3 people get pulled over because they passed me on a double yellow because they found they needed to go 5-10mph over the speed limit (I always go at least the speed limit when Hypermiling). OP, just go the speed limit, if people can't handle you obeying the law, to bad? It's their life, their car and their choice to act stupid.

Think of it like this, if they lose their license as a result of acting stupid because you obeying the law, 1 less stupid person to deal with!

[Edit]: It took me about 3 weeks to get emotionally used to getting cussed at, flipped off, brights flashed at me and all the other road rage symptoms that come with going the actual speed limit. Once I saw my first asshole get pulled over for passing me on a double yellow, all the feelings went away.
