You'll get a ticket for that in my state, both for violating the freeway minimum speed and obstructing the flow of traffic.

Normally I just set the cruise at 70 and let 'em pass, unless I get a tailwind then I don't feel bad about going 73-74. Still good for about 38 mpg with the AC running.

cojaro is right though, I expected a big difference from my "city" mileage that usually winds up around 35 mpg or so, but that only happens if I can set the cruise at 60 for hours on end on flat road.
