A fully-utilized freeway in the way you describe is one that cars cannot easily get on/off of (where is the space for them?). They will have to wait at the on-ramp to be scheduled into a slot. Because of this, the average throughput of a highway necessarily is less than the max-speed max-packed scenario, since the bottleneck is actually the on/off-ramps and feeder streets.

Of course, but the comment I replied to says that the max-speed max-packed scenario has much less throughput than a subway. That's completely wrong, and it's important to point out that it's wrong in order to see where the actual bottlenecks are (at the on/off ramps and feeder streets).
