Remember, drag goes up with the square of speed. That's the main reason why speed kills (gas mileage).

With that said, if you actually drive at 45 MPH on the highway, you will be rear-ended or ticketed, so I'm not actually suggesting that you do this. But this is the internet, where arguments over improbable hypotheticals always win.
