hwy speeds

I did a search but did not find what I wanted.

There is a long, flat state hwy that I will soon be driving on a daily basis. (approx 30 miles one way) The speed limit is 65 but I always go 55...there are signs that say that the minimum speed limit is 45mph. My commute will be during off hours when I usualy see one car if any.

My question is this...I know that driving 55 vs 65 saves alot... but will driving the minimum 45 make that much of a difference on this long of a commute?
