That's true. Those gear shifts are for acceleration. I exclusively drive pulse & glide so that's all I'm ever doing. If you're willing to do the work, it's the most fuel-efficient way to drive.
For steady speed, use the highest gear that can maintain speed. My car can do that in 5th as low as 25 mph.
