Driving the Speed Limit

That was my guess also.
And there have been times when I've been hypermiling my WRX on the highway by doing the speed limit or a mile or two an hour faster than the speed limit in the right lane and people appear to be angered by it. My take on it is they aren't paying for my gas so they can go about their business and don't worry about me. Plus, they pass me and the other sensible drivers thinking they are getting somewhere, yet a few miles down the road I pass them right back as they slow to exit the highway. Moral of the story is that speeding doesn't get you anywhere unless you are going to sustain that speed for quite a while.

Isn't it funny how some people think it's the MINIMUM speed limit? Or the folks who still drive that fast in a downpour or a blizzard. Do they have x-ray vision, what can they see that I can't?
It is a 1.8 Auto.
I normally drive with the flow of traffic and @ 1Kmi I am keeping a 32 avg.
DC traffic rarely goes below 60 unless it is stopped
As to the what do they see? Do you use polarized brown glasses when you drive in snow or rain? If not try it you will be shocked at the difference. Very lightly tinted yellow/brown Fishing glasses are what I use and it makes a big difference.
