While you're likely getting the best fuel mileage that way - low rpm, probably low(ish) steady speed - you're not getting the most bang for your gallon of fuel.
In those conditions, your engine is burning its fuel less efficiently in terms of HP / gallon.
But because these cruising conditions require so little HP, you still get good fuel mileage.
It feels contradictory, but it isn't
