I've noted this as well. I blame it on the fact that the 'passing lane' on the left is occupied by more aggressive drivers who tend to drive closer together [[tend to tailgate). This results in more 'ripples' in traffic when someone has to tap their brakes -- makes for less 'flow'. [[Not a very scientific explanation, but I do know best speeds are accomplished when no distruptions occur. But maybe I just like that the most aggressive drivers are receiving their 'punishment' -- they don't tend to get there as fast.)
