Yep. Not on freeways, but I avoid them most of the time anyway. Too much speed and too many idiots. No time to enjoy the ride. Depends on where you live, I imagine. In big cities like Portland, I get on the freeways to bypass traffic and get off where there is space to cruise.
I have a strange philosophy about interstates anyway (my spouse thinks, at least)....I prefer to do 60 in the right lane. I feel more visible, less rushed, and forces everyone to go around me where I can see them. I find that getting in the left lane and going faster forces you to drive along with and just like the idiots. Besides, as ROR stated, the right lane always leaves me an exit strategy.
