I can empathize with that. The beauty of multi-lane freeways is that if everyone cooperates, everyone can move along at the pace they choose, provided volume isn't an issue.
That being said, all it takes is for one person in the left-most lane to 'pace' the middle lane and then you have to resort to, uh, creative passing. It's one of those things that's maddening - one driver can really back up traffic.
I get the hesitancy to use the right-most lane in urban areas due to the number of entrances and exits and the volume of traffic at those interchanges, but in rural areas, it is often unoccupied. Riding the middle lane requires minimal actual 'driving', so I guess that's why people do it.
