There is never a reason to hug the passing lane(s).
If you're actively passing then it's not hugging.
If you're not actively passing then GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE LANE!
I used to think the same before I tried driving in California (European btw) and the left lane WAS AN EXIT???
Yeah that's just stupid freeway design.
Yeah there's quite a few of those in Texas as well.
Mind you, at least here, the left lane is a passing lane only on roads at or above 80kmh/50mph, below this speed limit, the left lane is just another lane. There's a lot of 70kmh highway around the cities here, and it's totally ok to be transiting in the left lane in those cases.
There's no such thing as a passing lane here (CA), the left lane is called the fast lane and staying in one lane is recommended (but of course, stay in the one that matches your speed, don't go 60 in the fast lane on the highway) vs weaving in and out.
