Cruising at 65mph...

Today I decided to find out the experience of driving at posted speed limits on roads and freeways. So its 25 or 35 mph on residential roads and 65 mph on freeways. To be honest, I really enjoyed it. I was very surprised to find that I still passed more than 80% of the cars on the freeway while cruising at 65mph. The experience was very unique. I did not have to glance at the rearview mirror every 10 seconds to scan for a highway patrol car nor did I have the urge to pass the car in front of me. And I still took the same time to reach my destination.
One thing I had to accept is the fact that I had to make extra effort to drive at 65mph. I was very consciously driving at 65mph. Instead of glancing the rearview mirror, I was glancing at my speedometer every 10 seconds to make sure I was maintaining 65mph. So I have decided to make an effort whenever possible to drive within speed limits just to enjoy the driving. Trust me, once you get used to it, you will really enjoy driving and the stress level drops by nearly 80%. Not to mention the fact that you will save atleast 25% on gas and reduce wear and tear on your car, esp on bay area roads.
