I was driving on roads with 35 - 45 miles per hour speed limits. To accelerate to 41 and then slowly decelerate to 25 or 30, just to repeat the process is quite annoying.
Try to use the cruise control. From what I can tell, it works well at speeds above 30mph and does a great job if the road is not hilly.
