I will often drive in the left-lane of a four-lane highway if there are a lot of "acceleration ramps"/entrances; I want the way to be as clear as possible for the person getting on the road. (Why? Because a lot of Oklahoma drivers STOP on acceleration ramps if their way isn't clear.) If there isn't a reason to be in the left lane, however, I default to driving in the right lane.
