I typically set my cruise at 58-62 and leave it there for the duration of my highway journey if there is traffic and I cant P&G. I can never figure out why some people drive 55 till you move over to pass then they speed up to 70, then you get back behind them and slow down again.
I've wound out my car to 20 MPH over the speed dealing with those people (not proud of it, just annoyed by the people who do 50 until you try to pass them, then they speed up until they are at 85.

As for the freeway driving? Even when I am doing 75 in the fast lane, I still can beat EPA highway as long as my engine is in good maintenance, so I try to raise the high speed fuel economy since the cheaper the 65 MPH (normal speed for long trips) traveling is, the more day trips can be done. It may not be the most fuel efficient, but if I can get better FE at the speeds most people drive, it will show that FE can be brought up without compromising on speed.
