If traffic volume is that heavy then higher speeds are often not
possible.  But as traffic levels get lighter, moving over becomes a
more feasible option.

I've lost track of how many nuts claw and fight their way past me at
110 km/h in heavy traffic only to have me blow by them 10 or 15 km
later as traffic got lighter and I hit my cruising speed of 140 km/h.

Keep right when traffic allows and it is safe to do so, don't cruise
in the left lane simply because you don't feel like changing lanes.
