I will not alter my driving speeds for fuel economy.

If shattering one's driving experience takes precedence over fuel economy, one is driving the wrong car.

In the real world it's what works. If fuel economy is not your priority then by all means hammer down!
I used to share your outlook, but it's amazing what that extra 1-2 mpg does for the driving experience. It's not a drastic alteration either, it's mostly just a concious effort to stay below 65 whan cruising and not treating each stoplight like a dragstrip christmas tree.
