Lightbulb FeedBack is what I seek (driving tips for long trip)

I made mention earlier this week of a trip Barb & I will be taking shortly.
I ask you, My fellow Gas Saving Friends for tips, tricks, & advice for the trip.
I will do all the driving.
The first portion will be on secondary highways. Because, my wife does not like Interstates, so I found a route that allows us to get where we need to be without using the Highways. Time will be expanded about one hour. Six & half hours from here to Bristol on I 64 & I 81 as opposed to seven & half on US 58.
US 58 will be a more relaxed drive and have better scenery.
Then a quick overnight in a hotel somewhere.
And to the highways.
I 81 to I 40 to I 24 to a whole lotta back roads to Sis' house.
So any body want to speak up and throw in your 11.5 cents (adjusted for recession)?
All comments and replies welcome.
Thanks for all your help, (both now and in the past)
Schultz.
