I monitor the traffic flow and if it appears driving slower will cause a traffic blockage of some kind, I speed up and keep pace with traffic. Of course, I'm able to adjust my speed and driving habits based on traffic conditions because I pay attention by actually DRIVING while driving. I don't spend time on my cell phone, send text messages, read email, etc. But that's a post for another day! :-) Kevin makes a good point about not impeding traffic, so let me be clear: I don’t drive slow enough to force others to swerve around me.

That won't change our dependence on oil and gasoline, which is what drives the price and the pricing structure. It's actually probably more dangerous to drive slow enough to make other drivers swerve out of the way. Right or wrong, keeping up with the pace of traffic, however fast it may be, is in the best interest of all drivers. The opportunity cost of saving a few cents versus possibly causing traffic issues is too high, in my opinion. We can drive as slow as we want.
