My trip driving style varies over time between balls to the wall and just setting the cruise at some speed between 70 and 75 mph and going with the flow.
I've recently reverted to the latter and I find it far less taxing.
Trying to maintain some speed in the young eighties in this part of the country on the interstates is usually an exercise in frustration.
Going only slightly faster than the many trucks and those who rarely drive the interstates works really well and is far less stressful than trying to go fast.
For now, I'm a cruise control driver and I do find this far more relaxing than trying to charge through.
My wife and I talk and listen to NPR or whatever. I don't find myself constantly looking for gaps in traffic to charge through and the added time for any give trip is little or nothing. The superior fuel economy is a plus for those who are OCD about tracking each tank as I am.
Go with the flow instead of trying to fight through it.
You might like it and you might find it far more pleasant, as I do.
