highway

I find here in CA, land of the 12 lane superhighway, people are surprisingly understanding about me driving well below the speed limit, so long as I stay in the slow lanes

I have no overdrive, and I stop the engine at every stoplight, and I still get better mileage on the highway than on the streets...

but you never know, you'll have to try it to find out what works best for your particular vehicle.
