I even use the CC buttons to very slowly return my car up to speed when I do have to slow below 53.
I follow this exact same routine, except my average speed is 63 miles per hour, in the slow lane. I keep as much room in front of me as possible (except for those people that speed past you and cut you off just to hit the exit 1/2 mile in front of you).
