Here is what I suggest: Take the lane.
This is what I do on certain parts of my commute, although not the distance you would. Yeah, you will upset some drivers, but they will stop buzzing you and it will be much more pleasant. This was an idea I got from these forums, and as crazy as it sounds, it actually works.
When you take the lane, the drivers tend to treat you more as a slow-moving vehicle (think tractor) than "something to get by."
If they don't go all the way over to the next lane to pass, move further to the left and they will.
