It's very nice driving 5 under the limit. You get there pretty much as fast unless you're going a long way, you save a noticable amount of gas, and you can just camp in the right lane, relax, and enjoy an audiobook or something without having to spend all that time passing and stuff.
I've driven way over in the past; I used to commute I75 up to Troy in the mornings; fairly sharp curves for an expressway, bumper-to-bumper at 95 MPH (cars seriously less than a car length apart at nearly 100 MPH). You either did that or get off and take the surface streets. I don't care to do that anymore.
