I often find myself in the situation where my engine does 3000rpm, and I want to shift up to reach the sweet spot at around 2300-2700rpms.

But I also want to drive slower, to decrease aerodynamic drag!

How to drive slower, in a efficient way?
Should I just drive at 2300-2700 in third gear, and stick to the speed that gets me?
