We use the same tactics.
I drive the Thruway a few times a year on biz trips and at 75 you are all but immune to tickets. Seems like up to 80 is OK if traffic is light. After that getting off if stopped is questionable.
Too many rolling radars on that road for my liking.
For me, 75 to 80 is normal highway speed (in a 65), and I always try to have a "front door" ahead of me to bring the cops out for a look.
My rule is never be the lead car if you have the hammer down. If you drive 75, it's never long on most roads before someone blows past and you just tuck in a ways back and stay alert. And watch your back, too!
