Default Re: Looking for highway driving tips

I usually drive at speed limit to speed limit +5. I have a gentle foot and accelerate smoothly. I anticipate and slow down in advance of traffic stops. I usually use cruise control when possible (light traffic), but find I can generally match cruise control performance using my foot. On my other car I can consistently get better than 30 miles per hour highway, even though it is only rated for 27. Trips are generally from PA to FL and back several times a year plus an odd trip from PA to VA or PA to MA.
