On long entrance ramps, I typically get up to about 5 - 10mph faster than I need to be going to merge in, while accelerating fairly quickly. Then, I can coast down to speed (adjusting rate of coast-down to line up with a gap), slide right in, and pick up a nice cruise. Or, on short ramps, I'll just find a gap I want and punch it to get there.
