I call this maneuver "cowering on the white line". It's dangerous.
1. It leaves you no room for position adjustments.
2. It encourages drivers to think they can squeeze by you in the same lane.
If there's no shoulder, my preferred position is a couple of feet inside the fog line, about where the vehicles' right wheels track. Especially if the lane is narrow.
Be safe, be predictable.
