In fact it's not even really legal to "drive" in the passing lane. The right lane is for driving, and the left lane is for passing. If, you're in the left lane you're supposed to be passing. You could actually get a ticket for driving in the left lane, regardless of speed, but most people probably aren't even aware of that.
It appears there is much you are not aware of either: http://www.mit.edu/~jfc/right.html
There are exactly 8 US states where it is outright illegal to be in the left lane when not passing.
