You don't have anyone in front of you. Yeah, you'd think this one would be obvious. If no one is directly in front of you in the left lane, that means you aren't going fast enough.
The lane to your right is open. Left lane is for passing folks, if you don't see a car to your right, you probably should be getting over. I don't care if you think 72 is good enough for anyone (it isn't) you should still be courteous for the people who want to go faster and get out of the way.

Both lanes are for passing, at least where I come from. I'm a left lane driver because 99% of the time I spend on the highway, I drive fast enough no one gets on my tail. Even if you hog the left lane and the right lane is open, I don't get angry that I have to drive around.
I also hope to have the motor functions to drive like this when im 80 =)

It's not a cruising lane, it's a passing lane. I don't care how fast you're going, when you complete your pass, you need to get back in the right-hand lane.

our slowest highways are 60mph, but most are marked at 65mph. outside the cities, it gets up to 70mph, and out in west texas, it gets up to 80mph.
But even if you go 80, the HoV lane is going one step faster at 85 haha
And mxt we use the left lane to go 80 mph. People don't have a clue about merging so the right lane always goes like 50 mph and then they try to get over the the middle >.<.(So yeah in conclusion, we stick together and keep passing everyone, and we starting moving right once we get near our exits. I rarely see anyone jump in and out of the left lane because of traffic here in dallas)
I only see a cop on our highways about once every 25+ miles 0_o. They like to stay in the city.

honorable mention:
You're hypermilling. If you're doing this at all, you shouldn't be on the highway and you probably shouldn't own a car or have a license. If you're doing this in the left lane, you need your license revoked and you need to be punched in the face repeatedly.
No really, I was behind a prius doing this on the highway just a few weeks ago. Going sooooo slow in the left lane i was like what the hell is this guy smoking... I finally pass him on the right.... and he speeds up and gets on MY bumper.... then all of a sudden drops back.. slow, slow, slow... After that he didn't catch up. definition of a$$hat.

As if we don't go 80-85 mph in the left lane in Dallas (60 mph, but you form a wolf pack in the left lane and go 80)
But even if you go 80, the HoV lane is going one step faster at 85 haha

I'd still like to head out to el paso sometime to take advantage of that higher limit....
