I usually leave around 6 pm and my average freeway velocity is 77 MPH (don't go faster because I want to avoid tickets). If I leave at 5 pm, I'll have to drive around 45 MPH for a couple miles, then back to 77 for the remaining 20 miles of my commute.

This is Phoenix, which continues to build out it's freeway system and continues to falsify the "fundamental law of traffic congestion".

Best weather in the country. July and August are hot, Ill give you that, but the rest of the year is awesome. And given I work and live in air-conditioned buildings, and have a huge pool in my backyard, July and August ain't too bad.
