I always accellerate @ 40MPG.
In traffic on a 45MPH road I'll run her up to about 35-40 then accellerate the rest of the way @ 60MPG.
75% of the time the person is well behind.

If there isn't anyone behind I'll back off @ below 30MPH and finish in the 60MPG range.

That's on a flat level road.

If it's uphill I don't accellerate while on the hill if possible.
If it's downhill I'll let the weight of the car do most of the "Assist" and get in the mid 40's to mid 60's range right off.

.

Efficient drivers do it better.
