Yeah you're right.  I've had commutes of less than 20
miles that drove me crazy.  Almost half the trip the
left lane average is 80-90 mph.  MOST people keep it
pretty sane.  About 10 miles is a special "targeted
enforcement zone" where they've had multiple fatals
and bad truck wrecks so they're really trying to keep
a lid on the speeds.  Another 40 miles is on very
lightly traveled interstate that was redone autobahn
style about 2-3 yrs. ago.  One stretch even reminds me
of Mulsanne.  Dead smooth, wide flat shoulders, double
Armco and only slight elevation changes.  It takes me
only about 1 hr. 5 mins. to make the trip.  The 200
makes the trip a really pleasure.
