Not sure what actual wisdom says but I personally avoid the middle of the road since that's where all the oil and gunk from cars builds.

Generally, I ride in the left indent so any cars ahead of me can see me in the drivers mirror, approaching cars can see me behind the car ahead, and i have enough time to react to hazards on the sides of the road (cows, deer, rabbits). Also helps at stop lights so I can put my left foot down on clean pavement while keeping my other foot on the brake.

The whole lane is yours, use the left, right, or middle depending on the circumstances and whatever position is safest for you.
