I'm not sure what the gearing in the Taurus is, but I set the cruise according to the GPS MPH and let 'er buck. To me, if you can feel yourself being pushed back into the seat, or pushed towards the dash, you're accelerating or braking way too hard.

We're going to make that same trip again in a month, I might try to some quick-fab grill block or something to see if we can creep over 35MPG.
