In NYC where courtecy is not an issue, it seems to me from 6 years
of driving that this is what is expected:

left lane: anything more than 5 mph over limit  or...
           passing a very slow or badly driven vehic;e in middle lane.

middle lane: around the limit, but not less than 10 under it.

right lane: slower than the limit. this lane is for entering, exiting, 
             and incompetent drivers who must use the highways.



p.s. you should not be driving on the highway if you MUST drive less than
say, 10 mph under the limit - even in the right lane. it is very dangerous  
when all of a sudden you have 3 slow drivers clogging 3 lanes - everyone starts
weaving in and out to pass them just to do the limit and this can get really
dangerous - especially in NYC!
