No kidding. I was cruising at about 75-80mph and people were passing me like
I was standing still.

I never could figure out why they were tailgating me when I was in the 2nd
lane from the right with two or three open lanes to my left.

Welcome to California, where drivers may remove their brain and set the car
on auto pilot.  The only time we slow down is when there are too many cars
for the capacity of the road. Or trucks.  Most regular drivers of a single
route come to feel that they "own" a particular lane, hence the tailgating.
